What is the conversion from lbs/hr to cc/min ?

I am utterly useless at these things and am hoping for a swift repinse form the asembled knowledgeable masses ?

lbs is a unit of mass, and cc is a unit of volume, so unless you know the density of liquid you're flowing then the 2 measurements aren't equivilent.

cc/min = Lbs/hr * 7.56 / Specific_gravity (approximately!!)

If you assume petrol (a fair assumption) then cc/min = lbs/hr * 10.26 => 310cc/min
