What does cubic inch/hour measure?

It measures volumetric flow rate as the volume of one cubic inch passing a point every hour, often used for very low flow rates.

Where is barrel (US)/hour typically used?

This unit quantifies flow rates in petroleum engineering for crude oil production, refinery processing, and pipeline operations.

Can I convert transient flow rates using this tool?

The conversion assumes steady-state flow; transient or fluctuating flows may require specialized methods.
