Key Terminology
-
Liter/hour (L/h)
-
A volumetric flow unit measuring the volume of liquid passing a point each hour, used for low to moderate continuous flow rates.
-
Cubic centimeter/minute (cm³/min)
-
A volumetric flow unit representing the volume of one cubic centimeter passing a point every minute, often equivalent to milliliters per minute.
-
Volumetric Flow Rate
-
The quantity of fluid which passes through a given surface per unit time.
