What does cubic inch per hour measure?

It measures volumetric flow rate indicating how many cubic inches of volume pass a cross-section each hour, often used for very low flow applications.

Why convert flow from cubic inch/hour to gallon (US)/second?

Converting allows comparison between very low flow rates common in labs or leak detection and much larger flows seen in industrial or municipal water systems.

Can this converter be used for all fluid types?

The conversion relates to volumetric flow rate units and does not depend on fluid type; it applies to any fluid as long as volume flow is measured in these units.
