What does cubic inch/hour measure?

It measures volumetric flow rate representing how many cubic inches of volume pass a point each hour, used mainly for very low flow rates.

Where is barrel (US)/minute commonly used?

It is primarily used in oil and gas industries to quantify liquid flow rates for production, pumping, and transfer operations.

Can this converter be used for all fluids?

The tool applies a general volumetric conversion and does not factor in fluid temperature or properties, so those may affect actual flow measurements.
