German term

Bm³

German to English Tech/Engineering Engineering: Industrial filters
Funkenflug ist ein häufig auftretendes Problem in Filteranlagen hinter Elektrolichtbogen- und Konverteröfen. Zu hohe Emissionswerte und unplanmäßige Produktionsstillstände sind
die Folgen.

Prozess: AOD-Konverter und Brennschneidanlage
Filterfläche: ca. 9.000 m²
Belastung: < 1 Bm³/(m² x min)
Temperatur: max. 120 °C

I've found out that Bm³ is cubic metres at operating pressure. What I would like to know is if there is an abbreviation in English for that.

German term (edited): Bm³/h
Selected

ACMH

From what I see with google, Bm³/h and its cousin Nm³/h apper to be home-made abbreviations (presumably Betriebs-m³/h and Norm-m³/h).

As the common term for the latter in English is 'standard cubic meters per hour' (SCMH) or 'standard cubic feet per hour' (SCFH), I'd suggest using 'actual cubic metres per hour' (or 'actual cubic feet per hour' in the US), but with a note indicating that it is measured at operating pressure.

ACFH - Actual Cubic Feet per Hour. The actual volume of fluid measured by the meter. This is not scfh (standard cubic feet per hour).

standard cubic feet per hour. Cubic feet per hour flow at standard atmospheric conditions at 14.7 psia, 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

SCFM - Standard Cubic Feet per Minute

It is common to rate the compressed air consumption in Standard Cubic Feet per Minute - SCFM.

The SCFM - Standard Cubic Feet per Minute - determines the weight of air to fixed or "Standard" conditions. There are several definitions of SCFM. The most common used in the United States is with "sea-level" properties:
14.696 Pounds per Square Inch (psia)
60 Degrees Fahrenheit (oF) (520oR)
0% Relative Humidity (RH).

Europeans normally use one ata and 0oC as SCFM.

ACFM - Actual Cubic Feet per Minute
Unfortunate real life "actual conditions" are seldom "standard conditions". Actual air volume flow is often termed ACFM - Actual Cubic Feet per Minute.

Actual Cubic Feet per Minute - ACFM, depends on the
pressure
temperature
humidity

of the actual air.

Provide the design inlet volume of the device. If you are using the electronic form, the drop-down box allows you to choose units of standard cubic feet per minute, standard cubic feet per second, standard cubic meters per minute, or standard cubic meters per second. Standard operating conditions are 1 atmosphere of pressure and 70 °F.

Provide the volume of gas that is cleaned by the device. If you are using the electronic form, the drop-down box allows you to choose flow units of actual cubic feet per minute, actual cubic feet per second, actual cubic meters per minute, or actual cubic meters per second, and temperature units of ºF, ºC, ºR, or ºK.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks, Ken and Capesha for the information and the trouble you took. Both answers were good but I had already read the web site Capesha referred to. That was where I found out that Bm³ was cubic metres at operating pressure. So, I'm giving the points to Ken because a lot of his information was new to me."

der deutsche Begriff ist praktisch beibehalten und erklärt worden. Am besten, Sie sehen es sich selbst mal an.
