What does 1 liter per minute represent in flow measurement?

It represents the volume of fluid or gas passing a point each minute, commonly used to express moderate flows in metric units.

Where is the unit cubic inch per hour commonly applied?

It is used for specifying very low flow rates, such as leak detection, microfluidic dosing, and calibration of low-flow pumps.

Is this conversion tool suitable for all flow rate sizes?

It's most appropriate for moderate to low flows; very large flows converted to cubic inch/hour produce large numerical values that might be difficult to interpret.
