Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does cubic inch per hour measure?
-
It measures volumetric flow rate as one cubic inch of volume passing per hour, used especially for very low-volume flows in imperial units.
-
Why convert cubic inch/hour to cubic centimeter/day?
-
To express low-volume flow rates in metric units over longer periods, which is useful for precise dosing and leakage measurement.
-
Can I use this conversion for variable or pulsatile flow?
-
The conversion assumes steady flow rates; variable or pulsatile flows require more complex approaches.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic inch/hour (in³/h)
-
A volumetric flow rate unit describing one cubic inch volume passing per hour, commonly used in imperial or US customary systems for low-volume flows.
-
Cubic centimeter/day (cm³/day)
-
A metric volumetric flow rate representing one cubic centimeter volume transferred over 24 hours, useful for expressing very small continuous flow rates.
-
Volumetric Flow Rate
-
The volume of fluid passing through a cross-section per unit of time.
