What does cubic inch per hour measure?

Cubic inch per hour measures volumetric flow rate, describing the volume of one cubic inch passing a point each hour, commonly used for very low flow rates.

Why convert cubic inch/hour to cubic meter/minute?

Because cubic meter/minute is a standard SI unit widely used in engineering, making it easier to handle minute-scale flow data and integrate into fluid systems.

Is this conversion suitable for high flow rates?

No, this conversion is mainly intended for low to very low flow rates since cubic inch/hour represents a very small volume over time.
