What does cubic inch per minute measure?

It measures a volumetric flow rate representing one cubic inch of volume passing a point each minute, commonly used for small-scale liquid or gas flows.

When should I use gallon (US) per second as a unit?

Gallon (US) per second is suited for measuring large volumetric flow rates, like those in firefighting pumps or industrial water lines.

Why might the converted values be very small decimals?

Because cubic inch per minute represents a much smaller flow compared to gallon (US) per second, conversion results often yield very small decimal numbers.
