What does cubic inch per minute measure?

It measures volumetric flow rate as the volume of fluid passing a point per minute in cubic inches, often used for small-scale flows.

Where is acre-foot per hour commonly used?

Acre-foot per hour is used in water resource management, irrigation, and hydrology to quantify large volumetric flow rates.

Why might converted values be very small?

Because cubic inch per minute represents a much smaller volume flow compared to acre-foot per hour, resulting in small decimal numbers after conversion.
