What does 1 cubic inch per minute represent?

It represents a volumetric flow rate where one cubic inch of fluid passes a point every minute, commonly used in small-scale fluid systems.

Why convert cubic inch per minute to cubic meter per second?

To standardize flow rates into SI units for use in engineering calculations, fluid dynamics analysis, and comparing different systems.

Can this conversion be used for all flow rate sizes?

This conversion is best suited for small flow rates; using it for very large or outside laboratory contexts requires careful unit management.
