Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a cubic centimeter per minute?
-
It is a volumetric flow rate equal to one cubic centimeter of volume passing a point every minute, commonly used in small-scale liquid or gas flow measurements.
-
Why convert cubic centimeters per minute to cubic inches per minute?
-
This conversion helps translate flow data between metric lab or medical environments and engineering fields that often use imperial units.
-
How do I perform the conversion?
-
Multiply the cubic centimeter per minute value by 0.0610237441 to get the equivalent cubic inch per minute.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic centimeter/minute
-
A flow rate unit denoting one cubic centimeter of volume passing a point each minute, equivalent to milliliters per minute.
-
Cubic inch/minute
-
A volumetric flow unit indicating one cubic inch of volume passing a point per minute, often used in engineering contexts.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The measure of the volume of fluid which passes through a given surface per unit time.
