What is CFM? -CFM  is short for cubic feet per minute (cu ft /min). - CFM determines how much Volume(cubic feet) can be moved or exchanged each minute. -In HVAC we use CFM to represent the capacity of equipment like Air Handling Unit. -It is measured by Anemometer.   Anemometer - An anemometer is a device used for measuring wind speed and direction. -It provides Velocity of air in M/s or FPM. -It does not provide air quantity directly. Formula Air Quantity    =    The velocity  of Air (FPM)   X   Area(Through which air is passing)                                                   …… Area will be in Sq. feet How to measure CFM across coil/Filter AVG Velocity across filter = (A+B+C+D...
