What does cubic inch per second measure?

It measures volumetric flow rate as the volume of one cubic inch passing a point every second.

When should I use cubic foot per hour units?

Use cubic foot per hour for quantifying flow volumes over longer periods, such as in HVAC systems or industrial gas flows.

Can this converter be used for compressible gases?

The conversion assumes steady flow and does not account for compressibility, so consult more specific methods for compressible gas calculations.
