Cups per second to Cubic inches per second conversion

What is cups per second?

A simple yet interesting unit!

Cups per second (CPS) is a unit of measurement that represents the flow rate of a liquid. It's defined as one cup (or 236.6 milliliters in the US customary system) per second.

In practical terms, if something flows at a rate of 1 CPS, it means that 1 cup of fluid passes through a given point or outlet every second. This unit is often used to express the flow rate of liquids in industrial processes, laboratory settings, and other applications where precise measurement of liquid flow is important.

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.
