What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms flow measurements from cubic centimeter per hour, a unit for very low steady volumetric flow rates, to cubic centimeter per day, suitable for expressing cumulative volumes over longer periods. It supports contexts like medical infusion, microfluidic research, and leak rate analysis.

Common Use Cases
-
Setting and reporting very low infusion rates in medical pumps such as neonatal dosing or drug microdosing
-
Defining flow rates in microfluidic experiments and using syringe or peristaltic pumps precisely
-
Measuring leak or dispensing rates for lubricants, adhesives, or seals in engineering tests
-
Reporting slow liquid delivery or dosing rates in clinical contexts over daily durations
-
Evaluating leakage or permeation rates of containers, seals, or membranes
-
Tracking small-scale laboratory or microfluidic flows where daily volume totals are needed
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use cubic centimeter/hour for monitoring immediate or short-term flow rates
-
Use cubic centimeter/day to express total volume delivered or lost over longer periods
-
Ensure steady and continuous flow for accurate conversion results
-
Select units that best match the measurement scale and reporting standards in your field
-
Be aware of instrument sensitivity and environmental factors influencing very low flow readings
Limitations
-
Assumes constant and steady flow; irregular or fluctuating flow requires more complex analysis
-
Accuracy can be affected by limitations in measurement devices and environmental conditions
-
Applicability may vary depending on the scale and context of flow measurement
-
Different fields may prefer different units depending on reporting needs
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 1 cubic centimeter/hour represent?
-
It is a volumetric flow rate where one cubic centimeter of fluid passes every hour, often used for very low steady flow measurements.
-
Why convert from cubic centimeter/hour to cubic centimeter/day?
-
This conversion helps represent very low flow rates over longer durations, useful for cumulative volume tracking in clinical, laboratory, or engineering contexts.
-
Can this converter handle fluctuating flow rates?
-
No, the conversion assumes steady and continuous flow rates and does not account for fluctuations.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic centimeter/hour
-
A unit denoting flow of one cubic centimeter (one milliliter) per hour, used for very low steady volumetric flow rates.
-
Cubic centimeter/day
-
A volumetric flow unit measuring one cubic centimeter transferred per 24 hours, useful for quantifying small continuous flow rates over longer durations.
