When a compressor pumps one CFM (cubic foot per minute), that means the intake port inhales one cubic foot of free air (air at atmospheric pressure, which is 0 psig) per minute. (Note: A CFM does not mean in any sense the compressed volume.) So the unit really measures the mass of air flowing per minute, not volume per minute, since a cubic foot of free air is a unit of mass.
This second scale has a mean and standard deviation that have been arbitrarily set. A z score, for example, is a raw score that has been transformed to a scale with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.
The transformed scores, which are called scaled scores, are reported to the test score users. During the scaling process, the first form administered (or one form, if more than one is administered at the same administration) is considered the base form and the initial scale is set using this base form.
