What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms flow values expressed in cubic inch per second (in^3/s) into ounce (UK) per minute, facilitating conversions between imperial volumetric flow units commonly used in hydraulic, pneumatic, and laboratory applications.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value in cubic inch per second you want to convert
-
Select cubic inch per second as the input unit
-
Choose ounce (UK) per minute as the output unit
-
Click convert to see the equivalent flow rate in ounce (UK) per minute
Key Features
-
Supports flow rate conversion from cubic inch per second to ounce (UK) per minute
-
Uses precise conversion factor based on imperial unit volumes and time differences
-
Ideal for hydraulic, laboratory dosing, beverage, and irrigation flow measurements
-
Browser-based and straightforward interface for quick unit conversions
Examples
-
2 cubic inch per second converts to approximately 69.21 ounce (UK) per minute
-
0.5 cubic inch per second equals about 17.30 ounce (UK) per minute
Common Use Cases
-
Measuring small liquid flow rates in hydraulic components and miniature pumps using imperial units
-
Calibrating dosing pumps and dispensing rates for adhesives, inks, or lubricants in labs and manufacturing
-
Specifying beverage flow or drip irrigation rates in systems using imperial volume units
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always confirm the units of measurement before converting to ensure correct input and output
-
Be mindful of the time units difference between seconds and minutes when interpreting results
-
Use this conversion for small to moderate flow rates typical in industrial and laboratory settings
Limitations
-
Cubic inch per second uses seconds as time units, while ounce (UK) per minute uses minutes, requiring attention to unit durations
-
The conversion involves US customary and UK imperial volume units, so precise conversions are essential to avoid errors
-
This tool is best suited for small and moderate flow ranges; very large flows might require alternative units
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one cubic inch per second represent?
-
It is a volumetric flow rate measuring one cubic inch of volume passing a given point each second.
-
How is ounce (UK) per minute defined?
-
It represents one UK fluid ounce of volume passing a point per minute.
-
Why is time unit consideration important in this conversion?
-
Because cubic inch per second is based on seconds while ounce (UK) per minute uses minutes, impacting the flow rate calculation.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic inch per second [in^3/s]
-

-
Ounce (UK) per minute
-
An imperial volumetric flow rate unit indicating one UK fluid ounce volume passing a point every minute.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
A measure of the volume of fluid passing through a cross-section of a system per unit time.
