Cubic inches per hour to Cubic inches per minute conversion

How to convert cubic inches per hour to cubic inches per minute?

To convert cubic inches per hour (in³/h) to cubic inches per minute (in³/min), you need to understand the relationship between hours and minutes. There are 60 minutes in one hour. Therefore, you can convert cubic inches per hour to cubic inches per minute by dividing the value in cubic inches per hour by 60.

Here's the step-by-step conversion process:

1. Identify the given rate: 1 cubic inch per hour (in³/h)
2. Use the conversion factor: 1 hour = 60 minutes

$1 \, \text{in³/h} = \frac{1 \, \text{in³}}{1 \, \text{hour}}$ $1 \, \text{in³/h} = \frac{1 \, \text{in³}}{60 \, \text{minutes}}$ $1 \, \text{in³/h} = 0.01667 \, \text{in³/min}$

So, 1 cubic inch per hour is equivalent to approximately 0.01667 cubic inches per minute.

Real-World Examples for Other Quantities of Cubic Inches per Hour

1. Fluid Dispensing Systems:

   • A precise fluid dispensing system in a laboratory might dispense 120 cubic inches per hour of a reagent. Converting to cubic inches per minute: $120 \, \text{in³/h} = \frac{120 \, \text{in³}}{60 \, \text{minutes}} = 2 \, \text{in³/min}$

2. Small Scale Pump

   • A small water pump might move 300 cubic inches per hour. In cubic inches per minute, that would be: $300 \, \text{in³/h} = \frac{300 \, \text{in³}}{60 \, \text{minutes}} = 5 \, \text{in³/min}$

3. Oil Drip Feed:

   • A machine with an oil drip feed system might use 30 cubic inches of oil per hour. In cubic inches per minute, it would be: $30 \, \text{in³/h} = \frac{30 \, \text{in³}}{60 \, \text{minutes}} = 0.5 \, \text{in³/min}$

4. Microfluidic Device:

   • A microfluidic device could handle 6 cubic inches per hour of a biofluid. In cubic inches per minute, it converts to: $6 \, \text{in³/h} = \frac{6 \, \text{in³}}{60 \, \text{minutes}} = 0.1 \, \text{in³/min}$

By understanding these conversions and real-world applications, you can easily relate flow rates in different contexts and units of measure.
