Actual cubic feet per minute is the volume of gas and air flowing anywhere in a system independent of its density. If the system were moving air at exactly the "standard" condition, then ACFM would equal Standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM).

Actual air compressor capacity (ACFM) vs. standard air capacity (SCFM) and inlet air capacity (ICFM). It is common to rate compressed air consumption in Standard Cubic Feet per Minute - SCFM. The SCFM - Standard Cubic Feet per Minute - determines the weight of air to fixed or "Standard" conditions. There are several definitions of SCFM.

2023年6月7日 · Discover the difference between ACFM vs. SCFM and find out why they matter when choosing an air compressor for your air tools & equipment.

2021年3月11日 · What is ACFM? ACFM is the actual cubic feet per minute, meaning it describes the compressor’s actual flow rate when taking into consideration the environmental conditions.

2022年10月7日 · ACFM stands for actual cubic feet per minute, and it is the most precise measurement of your compressor’s flow rate out of CFM, SCFM, and ACFM because it takes into consideration the varying environmental conditions your compressor may endure.

2021年11月4日 · SCFM should be used to compare the differences in compressors capacities, ACFM for actual non-standard site conditions and proper load applications while, ICFM should be used when a filter, booster or blower is added into the system.

2023年11月23日 · To make rating simple, compressor manufacturers typically use Actual Cubic Feet per Minute (ACFM) when labeling their compressor capability. ACFM does not change based on a compressor’s surrounding environment. Therefore, ACFM always represents how much volume of air a compressor can move in one minute.

2022年10月24日 · ACFM – Actual Cubic Feet per Minute. ICFM – Inlet Cubic Feet per Minute. The volumetric component of the flow rate above is CFM or Cubic Feet per Minute. This term is commonly used in rating air compressors and pneumatic equipment.
