Not suitable for real-time flow control without high-precision measurement tools
-
Primarily intended for converting small flow rates into larger scale units for analysis
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does cubic inch per hour measure?
-
It measures the volumetric flow rate representing one cubic inch of volume passing through a point every hour, useful for very low-volume flows.
-
Where is cubic yard per minute commonly used?
-
It is used in applications involving large volume flow such as pumping, dredging, and material discharge in civil and marine engineering.
-
How do I perform the conversion manually?
-
Multiply the value in cubic inch/hour by 3.5722450845908e-7 to get the equivalent in cubic yard/minute.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic inch per hour (in³/h)
-
A volumetric flow rate unit representing one cubic inch of volume passing a point every hour, used for measuring very low volume flows.
-
Cubic yard per minute (yd³/min)
-
A unit of volumetric flow rate indicating one cubic yard of volume passes a point every minute, used primarily for larger bulk material or liquid flows.
