Use the result to adjust dosing or flow control as needed
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow rates from cubic centimeters/minute to milliliters/hour
-
Browser-based and easy to use without software installation
-
Supports applications in medical, laboratory, and process control settings
-
Provides clear examples for practical understanding
-
Helps translate faster per-minute flow rates to slower per-hour rates
Examples
-
2 cubic centimeters/minute equals 120 milliliters/hour
-
0.5 cubic centimeters/minute equals 30 milliliters/hour
Common Use Cases
-
Setting and reporting infusion rates for medical dosing with syringe pumps
-
Controlling reagent or solvent addition rates in laboratory microreactors
-
Measuring small gas or liquid flow rates in instrumentation testing
-
Specifying flow rates in chromatography and analytical laboratory equipment
-

Tips & Best Practices
-
Double-check timing precision when converting between per-minute and per-hour rates
-
Calibrate devices to ensure accurate volumetric flow measurements
-
Use the converted flow rates to set precise dosing in medical and laboratory applications
-
Be mindful that this conversion does not consider fluid density or temperature effects
-
Apply unit conversion carefully when working with very low volume flows
Limitations
-
Conversion only accounts for volumetric flow rate over different time units, not fluid properties
-
Timing precision and device calibration affect accuracy when applying the conversion
-
Does not include corrections for fluid density or temperature variations impacting flow
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one cubic centimeter per minute represent?
-
It is a volumetric flow rate indicating one cubic centimeter of fluid passing a point each minute, equivalent to one milliliter per minute.
-
How is cubic centimeter per minute converted to milliliter per hour?
-
Since 1 cubic centimeter per minute equals 60 milliliters per hour, multiply the minute rate by 60 to get the hourly flow.
-
Where is this conversion commonly applied?
-
It is widely used in medical infusion pumps, laboratory flow control, and process industries to manage precise, low-rate fluid delivery.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic centimeter/minute
-
A volumetric flow rate showing one cubic centimeter or milliliter of volume passing a point each minute.
-
Milliliter/hour [mL/h]
-
A volumetric flow rate describing one milliliter of fluid delivered or dispensed every hour.
