What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms flow measurements from cubic centimeters per hour, a volumetric flow rate unit, to ounces (UK) per hour, a mass flow rate unit commonly used in fields requiring precise low-rate dosing and flow control.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in cubic centimeters per hour that you want to convert
-
Select the source unit (cubic centimeter/hour) and target unit (ounce (UK)/hour)
-
Click the convert button to get the equivalent flow rate in ounces (UK) per hour
-
Use the result to assist with dosage, calibration, or specification tasks
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow rate units to mass flow rate units
-
Ideal for very low flow rates in medical, laboratory, and engineering contexts
-
Browser-based and easy to use for precise measurement needs
-
Provides accurate unit translation for critical calibration and dosing
Examples
-
Converting 10 cubic centimeters/hour gives approximately 0.35195 ounce (UK)/hour
-
Converting 50 cubic centimeters/hour equals about 1.75975 ounce (UK)/hour
Common Use Cases
-
Setting and reporting low infusion rates in medical devices like neonatal pumps
-
Controlling microfluidic flows and precision syringe pumps in scientific research
-
Low-rate dosing of chemicals and reagents in laboratories and specialty manufacturing
-
Metering small ingredient masses in perfumery, flavoring, and pharmaceuticals
-
Testing small leak or dispensing rates in engineering and manufacturing
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure fluid density remains consistent when converting between volume and mass flow
-
Use the tool for very low flow rates requiring precise measurement and control
-
Confirm units before converting to avoid errors in critical dosing or calibration
-
Apply the tool in contexts such as microdosing, medical instrumentation, and chemical metering
Limitations
-
Assumes 1 cubic centimeter volume corresponds directly without adjusting for fluid density variations
-
Conversion translates from volumetric flow to mass flow, so fluid properties must remain stable
-
Not suitable if fluid density varies significantly between the measured samples
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one cubic centimeter/hour represent?
-
It represents a volumetric flow rate of one milliliter of fluid passing per hour, often used for very low steady flows.
-
Why convert from cubic centimeter/hour to ounce (UK)/hour?
-
To translate volumetric flow rates into mass flow rates for applications that require precise dosing and calibration based on mass.
-
Can this conversion be used for all fluids?
-
No, the accuracy depends on fluid density remaining consistent since the conversion assumes a direct correspondence of volume.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic centimeter/hour
-
A unit measuring volumetric flow rate representing one milliliter of fluid passing per hour, used for very low steady flows.
-
Ounce (UK)/hour
-
A mass flow rate unit representing one UK avoirdupois ounce passing per hour, used to express low mass throughput.
-
Flow rate
-
The volume or mass of fluid passing a point per unit time.
