What Is This Tool?
This tool converts flow measurements from gallon (UK) per second to ounce per hour (oz/h). It helps translate large-scale imperial-based volumes into smaller units used in precise dosing or dispensing, essential across many fields such as industrial processing, firefighting, laboratory dosing, and beverage dispensing.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in gallon (UK)/second you want to convert
-
Select the target unit as ounce/hour [oz/h]
-
Click the convert button to get the result instantly
-
Use the conversion output to assist in flow rate assessments or dosing tasks
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow from gallon (UK)/second to ounce/hour [oz/h]
-
Supports both mass and fluid ounce interpretations in ounce/hour
-
Browser-based and easy to use with instant calculation
-
Ideal for industrial, laboratory, and fluid dispensing applications
Examples
-
2 gallon (UK)/second equals 1,106,795.45 ounce/hour [oz/h]
-
0.5 gallon (UK)/second equals 276,698.86 ounce/hour [oz/h]
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying pump capacities for systems using imperial (UK) units
-
Measuring flow rates during hydrant testing or firefighting system evaluations
-
Laboratory dosing and chemical treatment processes with precise low volume flows
-
Volumetric dispensing in beverage and bar equipment
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure clarity whether ounces represent mass or fluid units
-
Maintain consistent use of imperial units to avoid inaccuracies
-
Apply the converter for steady flow measurements only
-
Double-check unit consistency when integrating with US customary units
Limitations
-
Ounce/hour may refer to fluid or mass ounces, which requires confirmation
-
Does not account for density or temperature effects on flow conversions
-
Mixing UK gallons with US customary units can cause inaccuracies
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does gallon (UK)/second measure?
-
It measures volumetric flow rate with one imperial gallon of fluid passing a point each second, where one imperial gallon equals 4.54609 litres.
-
Can ounce/hour represent both mass and volume?
-
Yes, ounce/hour can denote either avoirdupois ounces (mass) or fluid ounces (volume), depending on the context.
-
Is this conversion suitable for unsteady flow conditions?
-
No, the conversion assumes steady flow and does not adjust for changes in fluid density or temperature.
Key Terminology
-
Gallon (UK)/second
-
A volumetric flow rate where one imperial (UK) gallon of fluid passes a point every second.
-
Ounce/hour [oz/h]
-
A flow rate expressing the amount of substance delivered or transferred per hour, represented in mass or fluid ounces.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The volume of fluid passing through a point per unit of time.
