What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms flow rate values from cubic centimeter per hour, a unit suitable for very low steady flows, into milliliter per second, which provides a finer temporal resolution for measuring fluid flow.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in cubic centimeters per hour you want to convert.
-
Select cubic centimeter/hour as the source unit and milliliter/second as the target unit.
-
Click convert to view the equivalent flow rate in milliliters per second.
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow rates between cubic centimeter/hour and milliliter/second.
-
Supports precise expression of low and steady fluid flow measurements.
-
Browser-based and easy to use with direct input and output values.
-

Examples
-
10 cubic centimeters/hour converts to 0.002777778 milliliters per second.
-
50 cubic centimeters/hour converts to 0.01388889 milliliters per second.
Common Use Cases
-
Calibrating and setting infusion rates on medical pumps for neonatal or microdosing applications.
-
Quantifying flow in microfluidic experiments and precision pumps.
-
Measuring airflow and gas flows in respiratory and pulmonary testing.
-
Testing small leak rates of lubricants or adhesives in engineering.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Confirm flow stability during measurement for accurate conversions.
-
Use the converter to compare steady flow rates expressed per hour to rates per second for finer time-scale analysis.
-
Be aware of potential rounding when dealing with very small decimal values.
Limitations
-
Very small converted values can introduce rounding errors.
-
Accuracy depends on stable, steady flow during the measurement interval.
-
Transient or pulsatile flows may reduce conversion precision.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does cubic centimeter/hour measure?
-
It measures volumetric flow rate as the passage of one cubic centimeter (one milliliter) of fluid per hour, commonly used for very low steady flows.
-
Why convert cubic centimeter/hour to milliliter/second?
-
Converting allows for expressing flow rates with finer time resolution, making it easier to compare flows with rates defined per second in medical and laboratory contexts.
-
Are there any accuracy concerns with this conversion?
-
Yes, very small decimal values from the conversion may be affected by rounding, and flow stability must be considered to avoid errors, especially in transient conditions.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic centimeter/hour
-
A unit of volumetric flow measuring one cubic centimeter (one milliliter) passing per hour, used for very low steady flow rates.
-
Milliliter/second [mL/s]
-
A metric unit of volumetric flow that represents one milliliter of fluid passing a point each second, allowing measurement of small liquid or gas flows.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The volume of fluid that passes through a point per unit of time.
