What Is This Tool?
This unit converter helps transform flow measurements from cubic foot per second, a common large-scale volumetric rate, to ounce per second, a smaller-scale flow rate. It is useful for engineers, hydrologists, and laboratory technicians who need to convert between these different flow units.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value in cubic foot per second you want to convert.
-
Choose cubic foot/second as the input unit and ounce/second as the output unit.
-
Click the convert button to get the equivalent flow rate in ounce/second.
-
Review the conversion result and use it for your specific application.
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow from cubic foot/second to ounce/second efficiently.
-
Supports use in various fields including hydrology, manufacturing, and food processing.
-
Displays conversion formula and examples for easy understanding.

Browser-based and simple to use without installation.
Examples
-
Convert 2 cubic foot/second to ounce/second: 2 × 957.5064935534 = 1915.013 oz/s
-
Convert 0.5 cubic foot/second to ounce/second: 0.5 × 957.5064935534 = 478.753 oz/s
Common Use Cases
-
Reporting river and stream discharges in hydrology.
-
Designing and specifying pumps, pipes, and irrigation channels.
-
Measuring small dosing rates in food and beverage dispensing.
-
Calibrating laboratory dispensers and controlling manufacturing additives.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Confirm if the ounce referred is a fluid ounce or mass ounce before conversion.
-
Apply standard conditions for fluid properties to ensure conversion relevance.
-
Use the tool to scale large flow rates to smaller rates for precise control.
-
Verify measurement units carefully when working across different industries.
Limitations
-
Ounce/second may indicate fluid or mass ounces, requiring specification.
-
Conversion assumes standard fluid conditions; variations may affect accuracy.
-
Instrumentation and scale can limit precision for very high or low flows.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does cubic foot per second measure?
-
It measures the volumetric flow rate of a fluid passing a point each second, commonly used in hydrology and engineering.
-
Can ounce per second represent mass flow?
-
Yes, ounce per second can describe either mass or volumetric flow depending on the context and which ounce unit is used.
-
Why is this conversion useful?
-
It converts large-scale flow measurements into smaller, more precise quantities suitable for dosing, lab dispensing, and manufacturing controls.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic foot/second [ft³/s]
-
An imperial unit measuring volumetric flow as one cubic foot of fluid passing a point each second.
-
Ounce/second [oz/s]
-
A flow rate indicating how many ounces pass a point every second, representing either mass or fluid volume.
-
Volumetric Flow Rate
-
The volume of fluid that passes through a given surface per unit time.
