What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to transform flow measurements from cubic meter per second (m^3/s), a volumetric flow rate, into ounce (UK) per hour (oz (UK)/h), a mass flow rate unit. It is designed for applications requiring precise flow rate conversions between large-scale fluid dynamics and fine mass dosing.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in cubic meter per second you wish to convert.
-
Select the units 'cubic meter/second [m^3/s]' as the source unit.
-
Choose 'ounce (UK)/hour [oz (UK)/h]' as the target unit.
-
Click the convert button to get the result expressed in ounce (UK)/hour.
-
Use the result for your required flow rate application or analysis.

-
Useful for hydrology, environmental engineering, pharmaceutical dosing, and laboratory applications.
-
Browser-based and easy to use without installation.
Examples
-
0.5 cubic meter per second equals 63,351,139.58 ounce (UK) per hour.
-
2 cubic meter per second equals 253,404,558.33 ounce (UK) per hour.
Common Use Cases
-
Measuring river or stream discharge for hydrology and flood forecasting purposes.
-
Specifying flow rates in pipes, pumps, and hydraulic systems design.
-
Rating capacity of turbines, pumps, and water-treatment plant throughput.
-
Low-rate dosing of laboratory reagents and chemicals using precision pumps.
-
Calibration of small metering or drip-feed devices in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
-
Formulation and micro-dosing in perfumery or flavoring industries where minute mass quantities are needed.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure fluid density is consistent when converting volumetric flow to mass flow for accuracy.
-
Use this converter primarily for applications requiring very small mass flow units.
-
Verify fluid properties if working across different substances to maintain conversion validity.
-
Understand scale limitations; ounce (UK)/hour is not suited for very large mass flow rates without appropriate scaling.
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes constant fluid density, which can vary with fluid type and temperature.
-
Ounce (UK)/hour is a very small scale mass flow unit, unsuitable for very large flow applications without adjustments.
-
Accurate conversion between volumetric and mass flow requires knowledge of the fluid’s physical properties.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does cubic meter per second measure?
-
Cubic meter per second measures volumetric flow rate, indicating the volume of fluid passing a point every second.
-
When should I use ounce (UK)/hour as a unit?
-
Ounce (UK)/hour is suitable for expressing very low mass throughput, such as precise dosing in laboratories or pharmaceuticals.
-
Does the conversion consider fluid density changes?
-
No, the conversion assumes a constant fluid density, so variations may affect the accuracy of the converted value.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic meter per second (m^3/s)
-
An SI derived unit representing the volume of one cubic meter of fluid passing a cross-section every second.
-
Ounce (UK)/hour (oz (UK)/h)
-
A mass flow rate unit representing one UK avoirdupois ounce passing per hour, used for expressing very small mass flows.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The measure of fluid volume passing a point per unit time.
-
Mass flow rate
-
The measure of fluid mass passing a point per unit time.
