What Is This Tool?
This tool converts flow rates from cubic foot per hour, a volumetric measurement, to ounce (UK) per hour, a mass flow measurement. It is designed for use in applications requiring the translation of volume flow into mass flow at low rates.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value in cubic foot per hour (ft³/h)
-
Select the target unit as ounce (UK) per hour [oz (UK)/h]
-
Click the convert button to get the equivalent mass flow rate
-
Review the results and apply them according to your process needs

Examples
-
2 cubic foot/hour converts to 1993.23 ounce (UK)/hour
-
0.5 cubic foot/hour converts to 498.31 ounce (UK)/hour
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying ventilation or exhaust flow rates for HVAC systems
-
Measuring gas flows in pipelines and metering devices
-
Dosing of laboratory reagents or chemicals in precision pump systems
-
Calibrating small metering or drip-feed pharmaceutical equipment
-
Micro-dosing ingredients in perfumery, flavoring, or specialty manufacturing
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure fluid density is known or constant for accurate mass conversions
-
Use this conversion when precise low-rate mass throughput measurement is crucial
-
Apply correction factors for fluids with variable temperature or pressure
-
Validate measurements with calibrated devices for quality assurance
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes constant or known fluid density due to volumetric to mass translation
-
Not ideal for compressible gases without accounting for density changes
-
Accuracy depends on stable fluid conditions (temperature, pressure, composition)
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why does this tool convert volume flow to mass flow?
-
The tool translates volumetric flow (cubic foot/hour) into mass flow (ounce UK/hour) to support applications requiring precise measurement of mass throughput rather than just volume.
-
Can I use this conversion for all types of fluids?
-
This conversion works best when the fluid density is constant or known. For compressible or variable-density fluids, additional corrections are necessary.
-
What industries commonly use this conversion?
-
Industries such as pharmaceuticals, specialty chemicals, perfumery, and laboratory reagent dosing commonly require this conversion for precise low-rate mass flow measurements.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic foot/hour [ft³/h]
-
A measure of volumetric flow representing the volume of one cubic foot passing a point or section per hour.
-
Ounce (UK)/hour [oz (UK)/h]
-
A mass flow rate indicating how many UK avoirdupois ounces pass per hour, used for very low mass throughput measurements.
-
Volumetric Flow Rate
-
The volume of fluid moving past a point per unit time, measured in cubic foot/hour in this context.
-
Mass Flow Rate
-
The mass of fluid passing a point per unit time, measured in ounce (UK)/hour for low flow rates here.
