What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms volumetric flow values measured in cubic centimeters per day into cubic inches per second, allowing easy comparison and use of flow data between metric and imperial units.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value measured in cubic centimeters per day
-
Select cubic centimeter/day as the source unit and cubic inch/second as the target unit
-
Initiate the conversion to obtain the equivalent flow rate in cubic inch/second
Key Features
-
Converts very small volumetric flow rates from cubic centimeter/day to cubic inch/second

Includes exact conversion factor for accurate unit translation
-
Supports applications in clinical, laboratory, industrial, and manufacturing settings
Examples
-
Convert 10 cubic centimeter/day to approximately 7.0629333442977e-6 cubic inch/second
-
Convert 100 cubic centimeter/day to about 7.0629333442977e-5 cubic inch/second
Common Use Cases
-
Reporting slow liquid delivery rates in clinical infusion contexts
-
Measuring leakage or permeation rates in container or seal testing
-
Monitoring small-scale laboratory or microfluidic flow rates
-
Specifying flow rates in hydraulic components and miniature pumps
-
Characterizing dispensing rates for adhesives, lubricants, inks, or fuels
-
Assessing leak rates or airflow volumes in pneumatic, vacuum, or HVAC systems
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure steady continuous flow conditions for accurate conversion results
-
Use sensitive instruments when measuring very small flow rates post-conversion
-
Interpret the converted values carefully as very small decimals
-
Apply the conversion to integrate data across systems using both SI and imperial units
Limitations
-
Converted values yield very small decimal numbers which may require sensitive measurement tools
-
Assumes a steady continuous flow and may not be accurate for transient or pulsatile flows
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a cubic centimeter per day in terms of flow?
-
It is a unit measuring volume flow where one cubic centimeter of volume passes over a 24-hour period, often used for very slow continuous flow rates.
-
Why convert cubic centimeter/day to cubic inch/second?
-
Converting helps translate slow volumetric flows measured in metric units over days into imperial units per second, useful for clinical, industrial, and laboratory comparisons.
-
Can this conversion be used for non-continuous flows?
-
No, the conversion assumes steady continuous flow and may not accurately represent transient or varying flow conditions.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic centimeter/day
-
A unit measuring volumetric flow equal to one cubic centimeter of volume passing per 24-hour period.
-
Cubic inch/second [in^3/s]
-
A volumetric flow rate unit equal to one cubic inch of volume passing a point each second, commonly used in imperial systems.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The measurement of volume of fluid passing through a surface per unit time.
