What does cubic centimeter/hour measure?

It measures the volumetric flow rate representing one cubic centimeter of fluid passing per hour, typically used for very low flow rates.

Where is cubic yard/second commonly used?

Cubic yard/second is used mainly in U.S. customary engineering and hydraulics to quantify large-scale fluid flows such as river discharge and drainage.

Why is this conversion useful?

It enables users to translate very low flow rates from metric units suitable for medical or microfluidic contexts into larger units common in engineering and hydrology projects.
