What Is This Tool?
This unit converter transforms flow measurements from cubic centimeter/hour, a metric unit for very low flow rates, into ounce (UK)/second, a unit representing imperial fluid ounces per second. It facilitates seamless conversion between metric and imperial flow units commonly used in medical, research, and engineering contexts.

Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure accurate input values for precise conversions due to the small magnitudes involved
-
Use this converter when working with very low volumetric flow rates requiring imperial units
-
Be mindful that ounce (UK)/second is generally suited for larger flow scales compared to cubic centimeter/hour
-
Cross-check instrument resolution and fluid properties for improved measurement accuracy
-
Refer to conversion examples to validate your conversion results
Limitations
-
Very small converted values may challenge measurement precision and require exact instruments
-
Instrument resolution and physical fluid characteristics can impact accuracy
-
Ounce (UK)/second typically applies to larger flow rates, so unit suitability depends on flow magnitude
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does cubic centimeter/hour measure?
-
It measures the volumetric flow rate representing how much fluid passes per hour, specifically one cubic centimeter or one milliliter per hour.
-
When should I convert to ounce (UK)/second?
-
Use this conversion when you need flow rates expressed in imperial fluid ounces per second, commonly in beverage dispensing or pharmaceutical applications involving small flows.
-
Are there any challenges with converting between these units?
-
Yes, converted values are very small, making precision important. Also, the two units are typically used at different flow scales, so choosing the correct unit for your situation is important.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic centimeter/hour
-
A volumetric flow rate unit indicating fluid flow of one cubic centimeter (one milliliter) per hour, used for very low flows.
-
Ounce (UK)/second
-
A flow rate unit denoting the number of imperial fluid ounces passing a point every second, where one imperial fluid ounce equals 28.4130625 millilitres.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The measurement of the volume of fluid passing through a point per unit time.
