Key Terminology
-
Cubic Centimeter per Minute (cm³/min)
-
A volumetric flow rate representing one cubic centimeter of fluid passing a point every minute, equal to milliliters per minute.
-
Cubic Centimeter per Second (cm³/s)
-
A volumetric flow rate where one cubic centimeter of fluid passes a point each second, equal to milliliters per second.
-
Volumetric Flow Rate
-
The volume of fluid which passes through a given surface per unit time, commonly expressed in units like cm³/min or cm³/s.
