What Is This Tool?
This unit converter helps you change flow rate measurements from cubic foot per minute, commonly used in ventilation and air flow analysis, to ounce (UK) per second, a unit that measures smaller liquid flow rates used in dosing, dispensing, and microfluidics.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in cubic foot per minute (ft³/min) that you want to convert.
-
Select cubic foot per minute as the source unit and ounce (UK) per second as the target unit.
-
Click on the convert button to see the result instantly displayed in ounce (UK)/second.
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow from cubic foot per minute to ounce (UK) per second accurately using established conversion factors.
-
Supports flow rate conversions relevant in HVAC, industrial ventilation, beverage dispensing, and laboratory settings.
-
Browser-based tool requiring no installation, allowing quick and easy conversions anytime.
Examples
-
1 ft³/min equals approximately 16.61 oz(UK)/s.
-
5 ft³/min is equivalent to about 83.05 oz(UK)/s.
Common Use Cases
-
Determining fan or blower capacities and room ventilation flow rates within HVAC systems.
-
Measuring compressed air flow for pneumatic tools and air compressors.
-
Evaluating small dispenser flow rates in breweries and beverage services.
-
Reporting dosing or drip rates in pharmaceutical lab compounding.
-
Analyzing microfluidic and leak flow rates in engineering testing.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure you confirm the fluid type and conditions before converting to avoid inaccuracies due to density or temperature changes.
-
Use this conversion mainly to bridge measurements from large air flow volumes to smaller liquid flow rates.
-
Double-check units before entering values to maintain consistent results across different applications.
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes context-specific fluid properties since volume flow rates depend on fluid density and temperature.
-
Large differences in magnitude between units mean this tool is best for converting between disparate measurement scales rather than direct fluid comparisons.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why convert from cubic foot per minute to ounce (UK) per second?
-
This conversion is used to translate large-scale air flow measurements into smaller, precise liquid flow rates needed in dosing, dispensing, and microfluidic analyses.
-
Can I use this tool for any fluid type?
-
The tool converts volumetric flow rate units but assumes specific fluid conditions; verify fluid density and temperature for accurate interpretation.
-
Is this conversion reversible?
-
Yes, but the tool focuses on converting cubic foot per minute to ounce (UK) per second using a defined conversion rate.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic foot per minute [ft^3/min]
-
A volumetric flow rate unit equal to one cubic foot of fluid passing a given point each minute, often used in air flow and ventilation measurements.
-
Ounce (UK)/second
-
A volumetric flow rate unit specifying the number of imperial fluid ounces flowing per second, used for small liquid flow measurements.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The volume of fluid that passes through a section per unit time.
