What does cubic inch per minute measure?

It measures volumetric flow rate as one cubic inch of volume passing a point per minute, usually for small-scale fluid systems.

Where is cubic foot per second commonly used?

It is often used to express flow rates in hydrology, large hydraulic systems, and wastewater or irrigation system design.

How is the conversion between these units calculated?

The conversion uses a fixed rate where 1 cubic inch per minute equals approximately 0.000009645 cubic foot per second.
