-
Does not consider flow variations caused by fluid characteristics, temperature, or pressure changes
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does a cubic yard per minute measure?
-
It measures volumetric flow rate as the volume of a 3-foot cube passing a point every minute, used for large scale flows.
-
Where is milliliter per minute flow used?
-
It is used for small, controlled fluid flows in medical, laboratory, and analytical engineering contexts.
-
Why convert from cubic yard/minute to milliliter/minute?
-
To translate large volume flow measurements into precise small-volume flows needed for specialized applications.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic yard/minute
-
A volumetric flow rate unit representing one cubic yard passing a point every minute, used for large scale fluid or material flow.
-
Milliliter/minute [mL/min]
-
A unit measuring one milliliter of fluid passing a point every minute, applied for small, precise flow rates.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The volume of fluid passing through a point over a period of time.
