Ventilation

CFM = Length x Width x Height x Air Changes/Hour x Hour/60 Minutes

Basic Ventilation: 6 air changes per hour

NFPA820: 12-15 air changes per hour occupied space

Covered Tanks Ventilation: 5 CFM per square foot of surface

Duct and Inlet Velocity: 2,800 FPM

Open Air Intakes: 150 FPM

Length x Width x 150 FPM = CFM for air intakes

3.14 x Radius2 x 150 FPM = CFM for air intakes

One Cubic Foot Per Minute (CFM) = 1.7 Cubic Meters Per Hour
One Cubic Foot Air =
