Millilitres per second to Cubic inches per minute conversion

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

Converting from milliliters per second (mL/s) to cubic inches per minute (in³/min) involves a couple of conversion steps: first from milliliters to cubic inches, and then from seconds to minutes.

1. Understand the unit conversions:

   • 1 milliliter (mL) is equivalent to 0.0610237 cubic inches (in³).
   • 1 minute is equivalent to 60 seconds.

2. Conversion Calculation: To convert 1 mL/s to in³/min:

   Step 1: Convert milliliters to cubic inches. $1 \text{ mL} = 0.0610237 \text{ in}³$

   Step 2: Since we want the flow rate in cubic inches per minute, multiply the result by 60 (because there are 60 seconds in a minute). $\text{Flow rate in in}³/\text{min} = 1 \text{ mL/s} \times 0.0610237 \text{ in}³/\text{mL} \times 60 \text{ s/min} = 3.66142 \text{ in}³/\text{min}$

So, 1 mL/s is equivalent to approximately 3.66142 in³/min.

Real-World Examples for Other Quantities of Millilitres per Second

1. 5 mL/s:

   • $5 \text{ mL/s} = 5 \times 0.0610237 \text{ in}³ \times 60 = 18.3071 \text{ in}³/\text{min}$

2. 10 mL/s:

   • $10 \text{ mL/s} = 10 \times 0.0610237 \text{ in}³ \times 60 = 36.6142 \text{ in}³/\text{min}$

3. 20 mL/s:

   • $20 \text{ mL/s} = 20 \times 0.0610237 \text{ in}³ \times 60 = 73.2284 \text{ in}³/\text{min}$

These examples illustrate flow rates that might be encountered in various real-world scenarios, such as in medical intravenous drip rates (e.g., IV fluids administered at 5 mL/s) or industrial applications like fluid dispensing systems (e.g., a lubricant dispenser set at 20 mL/s).
