Examples
-
500 cubic centimeter/hour converts to approximately 0.0006539753 cubic yard/hour.
-
2000 cubic centimeter/hour converts to approximately 0.0026159012 cubic yard/hour.
Common Use Cases
-
Setting and monitoring very low infusion rates in medical pumps.
-
Conducting microfluidic experiments and precision dispensing with syringe pumps.
-
Specifying pump or dredge discharge rates in excavation and sediment removal.
-
Measuring delivery rates of concrete and aggregates on construction sites.
-
Sizing flow capacity for irrigation, stormwater, or slurry transport systems.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always verify flow units before converting to ensure accuracy.
-
Understand the scale difference between units to interpret small decimal results correctly.
-
Use steady flow measurements to match conversion assumptions.
-
Consider fluid or material properties that may influence actual flow behavior.
Limitations
-
Conversion results in very small decimal values due to scale differences requiring careful numerical handling.
-
Assumes steady flow conditions and may not apply to pulsatile or transient flows.
-
Physical fluid or material properties like viscosity and density may affect real flow but are not accounted for.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does cubic centimeter/hour measure?
-
It measures the volume of fluid passing a point at the rate of one cubic centimeter per hour, often used for very low and precise flow rates.
-
Where is cubic yard/hour commonly used?
-
Cubic yard/hour is frequently used in construction, dredging, and material handling to describe volumetric flow of fluids or bulk materials over time.
-
Why are conversion results very small numbers?
-
Because cubic centimeters per hour measure very small volumes compared to the much larger scale of cubic yards per hour, making converted values small decimals.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic centimeter/hour
-
A volumetric flow rate unit representing one cubic centimeter of fluid passing a point per hour, used for very low steady flows.
-
Cubic yard/hour [yd³/h]
-
A volumetric flow rate unit denoting the passage of one cubic yard of fluid or bulk material per hour, commonly used in construction and material handling.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The measurement of volume of fluid or material moving through a point per unit time.
