Cubic inches per second to Millilitres per second conversion

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 millilitres per second?

Milliliters per second (mL/s) is a unit of measurement that represents the volume flow rate. It is a measure of how much liquid flows through a point or an area over time.

In simpler terms, it measures the amount of fluid (such as water, juice, or any other liquid) that passes by a specific location in one second.

For example, if you have a hose that delivers 500 mL of water per minute, its flow rate can be expressed as:

• 8.33 mL/s (since 500 mL ÷ 60 seconds = 8.33 mL/s)

So, the milliliters per second is a unit to measure how fast a liquid flows through a given point or space.
