What does cubic inch per hour measure?

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

Why convert cubic inch/hour to liter/second?

Converting to liter/second standardizes flow measurements for engineering, laboratory, and industrial systems that use SI units.

Can I use this tool for high flow rates?

No, because cubic inch/hour represents very low flow rates, the tool is not suited for higher flow conversions.
