Gas Flow SI Unit to English conversion

[mbm]

Alright here's a stupid question. Can someone lead me in the right direction to find a conversion factor between Nm3/h to a proper english unit. A little background and help for my brain dead head this morning will be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all. Have a good day.

Not sure what you mean by 'proper English Units'.

Normal conditions are 1 atm and 0 deg C and would be used for gases. Using English units, one would typically use scf which is done 60F and 1 atm (14.696 psia). I don't think there are different pressure bases used between normal (SI) and standard (English) conditions.

Therefore, all you need to do is adjust the temperature base to 60F from 0C (1.05691) and then convert from cubic metres to whatever you want.

So, 1000 Nm3/hr would equal 37,324.4 standard ft3/hr. That is, if my morning coffee has kicked in properly.

here is the most comprehensive reply:
the conversion factors are given below:

1 m3/hr
= 219.9692 gallon (UK)/ hr
= 3.666153 gallon (UK)/ min
= 0.0611025 gallon (UK)/ sec
= 35195 ounce (UK)/ hr
= 586.58 ounce (UK)/ min
= 9.776407 ounce (UK)/ sec
= 35.31 ft3/ hr
= 0.5885778 ft3/ min
= 0.00980963 ft3/ sec

Hi,

I have used a program called "Convert". It converts units of different values into just about whatever. It is a freeware and can be found at

Convert is a great program but it is NOT intended to convert between Nm3/hr and other pressure/temperature bases.

Thanks everyone. I've have a grip on the situation. Just a slight brain freeze. I appreciate everyones comments and help. It's nice that we can all be there for each other. Have a good weekend.

I think the word you are looking for is: overkill ;-)
