What Is This Tool?
This tool converts volumetric flow rates from cubic centimeter per second to milliliter per hour, enabling users to express fast fluid flow rates in terms of slower, continuous delivery over time. It is especially useful in medical, laboratory, and engineering applications where precise flow control matters.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volumetric flow value in cubic centimeter/second
-
Select cubic centimeter/second as the source unit
-
Choose milliliter/hour [mL/h] as the target unit
-
Click convert to get the equivalent flow rate in milliliter per hour
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow between cubic centimeter/second and milliliter/hour units

Results depend on steady and continuous flow assumptions without fluctuations
-
Accuracy is subject to measurement device precision
-
Conversion formulas apply only between the specified units without adjustments
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one cubic centimeter per second represent?
-
It is a volumetric flow rate where one cubic centimeter of fluid passes a point each second, equal to 1 milliliter per second.
-
Why convert cubic centimeters per second to milliliters per hour?
-
Converting allows expressing flow rates over longer durations, useful for medical infusions and laboratory dosing requiring slow, continuous delivery.
-
Can this tool be used for gas flow rates?
-
Yes, it is applicable to small gas flow rates in contexts like leak rate measurement and vacuum systems.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic centimeter/second
-
A unit measuring volumetric flow rate representing one cubic centimeter of fluid passing a point every second, equivalent to 1 milliliter per second.
-
Milliliter/hour [mL/h]
-
A volumetric flow rate unit indicating one milliliter of fluid transported or dispensed each hour, used for low, continuous flow measurements.
-
Volumetric Flow Rate
-
The volume of fluid that passes through a given surface per unit time, important in medical, laboratory, and engineering applications.
