About Cubic meter per hour (m³/hr)
A metric flow-rate unit equal to 1/3,600 m³/s. m³/hr is the standard unit for industrial process flows, HVAC air handling, pump sizing in European specifications, natural-gas metering, and municipal water treatment capacity. European building-code air-exchange requirements and pump curves are almost always expressed in m³/hr.
About Liter per minute (L/min)
A metric flow-rate unit commonly used for household appliances, medical devices (IV pumps, ventilators), dispensing equipment, and small-flow industrial processes. A shower head in a metric country is typically 8–12 L/min; a garden hose is 10–30 L/min. L/min is the default unit for oxygen delivery in medicine (nasal cannula at 1–5 L/min).
