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).
About Cubic foot per minute (CFM)
An imperial flow-rate unit dominant in US HVAC — air-handler capacity, duct sizing, bathroom/kitchen exhaust fan ratings, compressed-air-system sizing, and dust collection. A residential bathroom fan is typically 50–110 CFM; a central-AC air handler for a 2,000 ft² home delivers 800–1,200 CFM. Converting CFM to m³/hr (×1.699) is common for international HVAC equipment.
