What does gallon (US)/second measure?

It measures volumetric flow rate, indicating how many US liquid gallons pass a point each second.

Why convert to cubic inch/hour?

Cubic inch/hour quantifies very low-volume flows, useful for leak detection and precise dosing where fine flow rates matter.

Is this converter suitable for all flow rate ranges?

It is ideal for converting high flow rates to very low flow units, but cubic inch/hour may not be practical for very large flow rates.
