Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does cubic centimeter per minute measure?
-
It measures volumetric flow rate as the volume of one cubic centimeter passing a point every minute, equal to milliliters per minute.
-
Why convert cubic centimeter/minute to milliliter/second?
-
Converting to milliliter per second provides finer temporal resolution for accurate dosing and measurement in medical and laboratory settings.
-
Does this conversion factor consider flow fluctuations?
-
No, the conversion assumes steady flow and does not account for variations or pulsations in flow rate.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic centimeter per minute
-
A unit measuring volumetric flow as one cubic centimeter or milliliter of fluid passing a point each minute.
-
Milliliter per second
-
A unit of volumetric flow equal to one milliliter passing a point every second, commonly used for small flow rates.
