Morphology

SCFH = S + C + F + H

SCFH is an initialism (letters standing for 'standard cubic feet per hour'); its components are letters, not productive English morphemes, so the meaning cannot be derived without knowing the expansion.

Etymology

SCFH is an abbreviation for standard cubic feet per hour, meaning how many 'cubic feet', like 'cubes' of space, of gas pass in one 'hour' under a set 'standard' condition. Think of it as counting little 'cubes' of gas that move past a point each hour, so the number tells you the gas flow.
