What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms flow rates expressed in cubic inch per minute, a unit measuring volume passing a point each minute, into milliliters per day, a unit indicating the volume transferred or consumed over a day. It is useful for translating small-scale fluid or gas flow data into a daily volume format.
How to Use This Tool?

Examples
-
2 cubic inch/minute converts to 47194.74432 milliliter/day
-
0.5 cubic inch/minute converts to 11798.68608 milliliter/day
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying leak or purge rates in pneumatic and hydraulic systems
-
Monitoring daily fluid output in clinical settings
-
Characterizing output of small pumps and laboratory tubing flows
-
Measuring low flow rates in microfluidic or environmental seepage testing
-
Reporting total volume for low-rate infusions or drug delivery
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure steady flow rate conditions for accurate conversion
-
Use milliliter/day for very low continuous or cumulative volume flows
-
Be cautious when converting very high flows due to large output numbers
-
Confirm units carefully when inputting and reading results
-
Apply the tool for small-scale fluid or gas flow rate contexts
Limitations
-
Assumes a constant and steady flow without variability or pulsation
-
Cubic inch/minute is uncommon in SI environments, which may affect accuracy
-
Milliliter/day suits very low flow rates; large flows can produce impractical values
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does cubic inch per minute measure?
-
It measures the volumetric flow rate equal to one cubic inch of volume passing a point every minute, commonly used in small-scale systems.
-
Why convert cubic inch/minute to milliliter/day?
-
Converting allows interpretation of flow rates as daily total volumes, useful in fields like medical monitoring, laboratory testing, and environmental analysis.
-
Can this converter handle variable flow rates?
-
No, the conversion assumes steady flow rates and does not take into account any flow fluctuations or pulsations.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic inch/minute [in³/min]
-
A volumetric flow rate unit describing one cubic inch of volume passing a specific point every minute, commonly used for liquid or gas flows in small systems.
-
Milliliter/day [mL/d]
-
A volumetric flow rate measurement indicating the volume of one milliliter moved or produced over the span of a day, appropriate for very low continuous flow rates.
