What does cubic inch per hour measure?

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

Where is barrel (US) per second commonly used?

It is used to express large liquid flow rates, especially in the oil and petroleum industries for production and pipeline monitoring.

Why do conversion results between these units have very small values?

Because cubic inch/hour represents very low flow volumes compared to the large volume represented by barrel (US)/second, resulting in tiny decimal values.
