What does cubic inch per minute measure?

It measures the volumetric flow rate indicating how many cubic inches of fluid pass a point every minute, often used for small-scale liquid or gas flows.

Why convert cubic inch/minute to cubic meter/hour?

Conversion helps translate imperial flow rates to SI units, facilitating engineering analysis, reporting, and system integration in broader industrial and scientific applications.

Are there any limitations to these conversions?

Yes, conversions assume steady flow conditions and can be affected by measurement precision and rounding; very small values may require careful numerical handling.
