Cubic meters per hour is a practical volumetric flow unit for building and process systems.
It became common in HVAC, water and process design because many installation capacities are read over hourly intervals.
Measurement system: Technical volumetric-flow unit. SI equivalent: 1 m³/h ≈ 0.000277778 m³/s.
