Cubic feet per minute to Cubic metres per hour
1 cubic foot per minute = 1.699 cubic metres per hour · 1 m³/h = 0.58858 cfm
1 cubic foot per minute = 1.699 cubic metres per hour
How it’s calculated
m³/h = cfm × 1.699010796
- Multiply the value in cubic feet per minute by 1.699010796.
- To go back, divide by 1.699010796 (or multiply by 0.5885777787).
- 1 cfm = 1.699010796 m³/h · 1 m³/h = 0.5885777787 cfm

Find the conversion factor
By definition 1 cfm = 0.0004719474432 m³/s and 1 m³/h = 0.000277777777777778 m³/s, so 1 cfm = 1.69901079552 m³/h. Source: NIST SP 811 / Handbook 44; BIPM SI Brochure (9th ed.) (SI prefixes and accepted units).
Multiply by the factor written as a fraction
Put cfm in the denominator so it cancels, leaving m³/h.
