Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one cubic centimeter per second represent?
-
It represents a volumetric flow rate where one cubic centimeter of fluid passes a point each second, equivalent to one milliliter per second.
-
Where is cubic meter per hour commonly used?
-
It is widely used in engineering contexts for specifying pump capacities, HVAC systems, pipelines, and industrial fluid handling.
-
Can this conversion be used for both liquids and gases?
-
Yes, the units represent volumetric flow and apply to both liquid and gas measurements.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic Centimeter/Second
-
A volumetric flow unit representing one cubic centimeter of fluid passing a point every second; commonly used for small flow rates.
-
Cubic Meter/Hour [m³/h]
-
A volumetric flow rate equal to one cubic meter of fluid flowing past a point in one hour; standard in engineering for larger flow rates.
