What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms flow rate measurements from gallon (US) per minute to ounce per second [oz/s]. Gallon (US)/minute measures the volume of liquid passing a point each minute, commonly used in plumbing and automotive settings. Ounce per second can represent small-scale mass or volumetric flow rates measured each second, applicable in laboratories and manufacturing.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate value in gallon (US)/minute
-
Select ounce/second [oz/s] as the target unit
-
Click convert to get the equivalent flow in ounces per second
-
Review results and apply them to your relevant application
Key Features
-
Converts gallon (US)/minute to ounce/second with a precise conversion factor
-
Supports volumetric flow rate transformations for flow measurement needs
-
Useful in plumbing, HVAC, automotive fuel management, and laboratory dosing
-
Browser-based and easy to use with simple input and instant results
Examples
-
5 gallon (US)/minute equals approximately 10.6667 ounce/second
-
0.5 gallon (US)/minute converts to about 1.0667 ounce/second
Common Use Cases
-
Determining pump capacities and sprinkler flow rates in plumbing
-
Measuring fuel or liquid transfer rates in automotive and small engines
-
Controlling liquid dosing speeds in food and beverage dispensing
-
Calibrating laboratory dispensers or nebulizers delivering small fluid amounts
-
Managing feed rates of mass additives or coatings in manufacturing
Tips & Best Practices
-
Confirm whether the ounce unit is fluid or mass to maintain accuracy
-
Use the converter for small-duration or low-rate flow scenarios
-
Interpret results considering the consistent definitions of gallon and ounce units
-
Apply conversions within appropriate industry contexts like plumbing or laboratories
Limitations
-
Ounce can mean fluid or mass ounce; context must clarify which is intended
-
Conversion does not inherently account for density differences between mass and volume
-
Assumes standardized definitions of gallon and ounce without regional variations

Key Terminology
-
Gallon (US)/minute
-
A unit of volumetric flow rate measuring the number of U.S. liquid gallons passing a point each minute.
-
Ounce/second [oz/s]
-
A flow rate unit specifying how many ounces, either mass or fluid, move past a point each second.
-
Flow Rate
-
The quantity of fluid or substance passing a point per unit of time.
