What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to transform volumetric flow measurements from cubic foot per second, commonly used in hydrology and engineering, into ounce per hour, which is frequently used for precise liquid dispensing and dosing applications across various industries.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate value in cubic foot per second (ft³/s).
-
Select cubic foot per second as the input unit and ounce per hour (oz/h) as the output unit.
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent flow rate in ounce per hour.
-
Use the provided examples as a guide for typical conversions.
Key Features
-
Converts flow rates from cubic foot/second to ounce/hour units accurately.
-
Supports applications in hydrology, engineering, laboratory dosing, and food & beverage industries.
-
Browser-based and easy to use with clear input and output fields.
-
Includes practical examples for quick understanding of conversions.
Examples
-
2 ft³/s converts to 6894046.75 oz/h by multiplying 2 by 3447023.3767924.
-
0.5 ft³/s converts to 1723511.69 oz/h by multiplying 0.5 by 3447023.3767924.
Common Use Cases
-
Reporting river and stream discharge rates in hydrology.
-
Designing pumps, pipes, and irrigation systems for fluid flow control.
-
Volumetric dispensing of beverages and syrups in food service equipment.
-
Low flow liquid dosing in laboratory syringe pumps and chemical dosing systems.
-
Measuring small leak or feed rates of oils, fuels, or powders in manufacturing.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Confirm whether ounce refers to mass (avoirdupois) or volume (fluid ounce) for accurate interpretation.
-
Use this converter when translating large volumetric rates to smaller, precise hourly dosing values.
-
Cross-check converted values when applying them in critical engineering or laboratory settings.
Limitations
-
The ounce/hour unit can represent either mass or volume ounces, requiring clarification for correct use.
-
Converted values can be very large and may need scaling for practical applications.
-
Not intended for converting units outside the specified cubic foot per second to ounce per hour pair.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does cubic foot per second measure?
-
It measures volumetric flow rate as one cubic foot of fluid passing a point every second, used often in hydrology and engineering.
-
Can ounce/hour refer to volume or mass?
-
Yes, ounce/hour can indicate either mass (avoirdupois ounce) or fluid volume (US fluid ounce), depending on the context.
-
Why are the converted ounce/hour values so large?
-
Because cubic foot/second is a large flow rate unit measured per second, converting it to ounces per hour results in significantly larger numeric values.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic foot/second (ft³/s)
-
An imperial/US customary unit for measuring volumetric flow rate equal to one cubic foot of fluid passing a point each second.
-
Ounce/hour (oz/h)
-
A flow rate unit expressing quantity delivered or transferred per hour; can refer to mass (avoirdupois ounce) or volume (fluid ounce).
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The volume of fluid passing through a point per unit time.
