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

To convert cubic inches per second (in³/s) to cubic inches per minute (in³/min), you need to multiply by the number of seconds in a minute, which is 60. This is because there are 60 seconds in one minute.

Let's go through the conversion step-by-step:

  1. Start with the volume flow rate in cubic inches per second that you want to convert. In this case, it's 1 in³/s.
  2. Multiply by 60 to convert it to cubic inches per minute (since there are 60 seconds in a minute).

1 in³/s×60 seconds/minute=60 in³/min1 \text{ in³/s} \times 60 \text{ seconds/minute} = 60 \text{ in³/min}

So, 1 cubic inch per second is equivalent to 60 cubic inches per minute.

Real-World Examples

  1. Water Faucet: A standard kitchen faucet might have a flow rate of around 1-2 gallons per minute (GPM). Since 1 gallon is approximately 231 cubic inches, 1 gallon per minute is equivalent to 231 in3/min231 \text{ in}³/\text{min}. Converting this into a flow rate in cubic inches per second: 231 in3/min÷603.85 in3/sec231 \text{ in}³/\text{min} \div 60 \approx 3.85 \text{ in}³/\text{sec}

  2. Fish Tank Filter: A small aquarium filter might circulate water at a rate of 10 GPM. Converting that into cubic inches: 10 GPM×231 in³/gallon=2310 in³/min10 \text{ GPM} \times 231 \text{ in³/gallon} = 2310 \text{ in³/min} In cubic inches per second, this would be: 2310 in³/min÷6038.5 in³/s2310 \text{ in³/min} \div 60 \approx 38.5 \text{ in³/s}

  3. Automotive Engine: An example for an automotive engine might be an oil pump for a smaller car engine. Let’s say the oil pump circulates oil at a rate of 30 in³/s. Converting this to cubic inches per minute: 30 in3/s×60=1800 in3/min30 \text{ in}³/s \times 60 = 1800 \text{ in}³/min

  4. Hydraulic Systems: In hydraulics, a hydraulic pump might have a flow rate of 2 in³/s. 2 in3/s×60=120 in3/min2 \text{ in}³/s \times 60 = 120 \text{ in}³/min

These examples should give you a good idea of different quantities in cubic inches per second and how to convert them to cubic inches per minute.

What is cubic inches per second?

A very specific and technical term!

Cubic inches per second (in³/s) is a unit of measurement for volumetric flow rate. It represents the volume of fluid (such as air, water, or gas) that flows through a given area in one second.

In other words, if you know the flow rate in cubic inches per second, you can calculate the volume of fluid that passes through a particular point or pipe in one second.

To put this into perspective, here are some examples of volumetric flow rates and their equivalent values:

  • A typical household faucet flows at around 2-4 gallons per minute (gpm). This translates to approximately 0.02-0.04 cubic feet per second (ft³/s) or 1.3-2.6 cubic inches per second (in³/s).
  • The exhaust flow rate of a car engine is often measured in cubic feet per minute (cfm), which can be converted to cubic inches per second.
  • In industrial applications, such as air handling systems, flow rates are often specified in cubic meters per hour (m³/h) or liters per minute (L/min), which can also be expressed as cubic inches per second.

Keep in mind that the choice of unit depends on the specific application and industry, but cubic inches per second is a useful measure for many fluid dynamics calculations.

What is cubic inches per minute?

Cubic inches per minute (CIDM or CI/min) is a unit of volumetric flow rate, which measures the volume of fluid that passes through a given area in one minute.

To calculate CIDM, you multiply the volume of liquid (in cubic inches) by the number of minutes:

CIDM = Volume of liquid (cubic inches) × Number of minutes

For example, if 10 cubic inches of liquid passes through an area in one minute, then the volumetric flow rate is:

CIDM = 10 cubic inches × 1 minute = 10 CI/min
