Examples
-
Convert 2 L/min to cubic centimeter/hour results in 120,000 cc/hour
-
Convert 0.5 L/min to cubic centimeter/hour results in 30,000 cc/hour
Common Use Cases
-
Respiratory therapy and medical oxygen or ventilator flow settings
-
Precision control in infusion pumps for neonatal and drug microdosing
-
Microfluidics experiments and laboratory peristaltic pump flow specifications
-
Engineering tests measuring small leak or dispensing rates of lubricants and adhesives
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure instruments used to measure flow can detect very low rates when working in cubic centimeter per hour
-
Double-check calculations when converting large scale differences to maintain accuracy
-
Use this conversion to facilitate precise control in medical and engineering applications requiring fine flow adjustments
Limitations
-
Significant difference in scale requires careful attention to maintain precision in low flow rate conversions
-
Cubic centimeter per hour is not practical for very high flow rates due to large resulting values
-
Specialized sensitive measurement devices are necessary to accurately capture low flow volumes expressed in cc/hour
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does liter per minute (L/min) measure?
-
Liter per minute (L/min) measures the volumetric flow rate indicating how many liters of fluid or gas pass a point each minute.
-
Why convert liter/minute to cubic centimeter/hour?
-
Converting to cubic centimeter/hour helps represent very low and precise flow rates required in medical microdosing, microfluidics, and specialized engineering tests.
-
Can I use this conversion for very high flow rates?
-
No, cubic centimeter/hour units become impractical for extremely high flow rates due to large numbers, making liter/minute more suitable in those cases.
Key Terminology
-
Liter per minute [L/min]
-
A metric volumetric flow rate that measures the volume of fluid or gas passing a point each minute, used for moderate flow rates.
-
Cubic centimeter per hour
-
A volumetric flow rate unit indicating the passage of one cubic centimeter of fluid per hour, suited for very low steady flows.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The quantity of fluid flowing through a surface or point per unit of time, usually expressed in units like liters per minute or cubic centimeters per hour.
