What Is This Tool?
This unit converter enables seamless translation of flow measurements from cubic inch per second, a volumetric flow unit, into ounce (UK) per hour, a mass flow unit. It supports precision dosing and calibration tasks by converting small-volume flow rates common in various industrial and laboratory settings.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value you want to convert measured in cubic inch per second.
-
Select the source unit as cubic inch/second and the target unit as ounce (UK)/hour.
-
Click convert to see the equivalent flow rate in ounce (UK)/hour.
-
Use the result for precise dosing or flow measurement adjustments.
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow (cubic inch/second) to mass flow (ounce (UK)/hour).
-
Supports precision applications in laboratories and manufacturing.
-
Browser-based and easy to operate for accurate unit translation.
-
Uses a direct, fixed conversion factor between the units.
-
Helpful for calibration, dosing, and formulation processes.
Examples
-
Convert 0.5 cubic inch/second: 0.5 × 2076.2783576104 = 1038.14 ounce (UK)/hour.
-
Convert 2 cubic inch/second: 2 × 2076.2783576104 = 4152.56 ounce (UK)/hour.
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying flow rates in hydraulic components and miniature pumps.
-
Dosing laboratory reagents and chemicals with precision pumps.
-
Calibrating medical or pharmaceutical metering devices.
-
Formulating perfumes and flavorings with micro-dosing techniques.
-
Measuring leak or airflow rates in vacuum or pneumatic systems.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure fluid density is known to interpret conversion correctly between volumetric and mass flow.
-
Use the tool for low-scale, precise flow calculations in industrial and lab contexts.
-
Verify converted values with physical measurements when possible.
-
Apply conversion results to improve accuracy in dosing and manufacturing processes.
Limitations
-
Conversion presumes a constant fluid density; differing densities impact precision.
-
Converts volumetric flow to mass flow, which inherently requires knowledge of fluid density.
-
Not intended for use when fluid properties vary significantly during measurement.
-
Accuracy depends on consistent units and proper application context.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does cubic inch/second measure?
-
It measures volumetric flow rate, representing one cubic inch of volume passing a point each second.
-
Why convert to ounce (UK)/hour?
-
Converting to ounce (UK)/hour expresses a very low mass flow rate useful in precise dosing applications.
-
Does this converter account for fluid density?
-
No, the converter assumes consistent fluid density; variations require manual adjustment.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic inch/second [in^3/s]
-
A volumetric flow unit representing one cubic inch of volume passing a point each second.
-
Ounce (UK)/hour [oz (UK)/h]
-
A mass flow unit equal to one UK avoirdupois ounce passing per hour, used for very low mass flow rates.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The volume of fluid that passes through a point per unit of time.
-
Mass flow rate
-
The mass of fluid that passes through a point per unit of time.
