If you know the FPM and you know the area of your flow say duct work (20"x20")...

first convert your area 20*20=400 in2 to Ft2

20"*20" = 400in2 400in2/144 = 2.7777Ft2

Now that you know the area in Ft2 you can use the equation [ FPM*area(ft2) = CFM ]

if your FPM is 500 and we use the 20"x20" duct then

500fpm * 2.777Ft2 = 1388.5 cfm

To convert feet per minute (FPM) to cubic feet per minute (CFM), you need to multiply the FPM by the cross-sectional area of the opening in square feet through which the air is moving. The formula is CFM = FPM x Area.
