What Is This Tool?
This tool converts flow rates from gallon (US) per second to ounce per minute [oz/min], helping users translate large volumetric flow measurements into smaller, more precise dosing units suitable for various industrial and laboratory applications.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in gallon (US)/second that you want to convert
-
Select gallon (US)/second as the from-unit and ounce/minute as the to-unit
-
Click convert to see the equivalent ounce/minute flow rate
-
Use the result to assist in precise fluid dosing or flow management
Key Features
-
Conversions from gallon (US)/second to ounce/minute with a fixed rate
-
User-friendly interface for quick and easy conversions
-
Browser-based tool accessible from any device
-
Supports volumetric flow measurements common in industrial and food service contexts
Examples
-
2 gallon (US)/second equals 15360 ounce/minute
-
0.5 gallon (US)/second equals 3840 ounce/minute
Common Use Cases
-
Measuring high-capacity water or firefighting pump discharge rates
-
Dosing small liquid additives or adhesives in manufacturing
-
Specifying lubrication or coolant supply rates in machinery
-
Dispensing syrups, sauces, or beverages in food service or labs
-
Estimating flow in irrigation systems and industrial water lines
Tips & Best Practices
-
Verify that you are converting volumetric flow, not mass flow, unless density is known
-
Use this conversion to bridge large volume flows to small dispensing rates
-
Check units carefully when specifying flow to ensure consistent measurement types
-
Apply the conversion for short-duration liquid transfers requiring precise control
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes volumetric fluid ounces and may not apply to mass ounces without density data
-
Large scale differences between units mean this is best for converting high volume to small dosing rates
-
Not suitable for equal-scale flow measurements without additional adjustments
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 1 gallon (US)/second represent?
-
It represents a volumetric flow rate where one U.S. liquid gallon passes a point every second.
-
Is ounce/minute always a volumetric measurement?
-
Ounce/minute can refer to volumetric flow or mass flow depending on context, but this conversion uses volumetric fluid ounces.
-
Why is the conversion factor 7680?
-
Because one gallon (US)/second equals 7680 ounce/minute as a volumetric flow conversion.
Key Terminology
-
Gallon (US)/second
-
A volumetric flow rate of one U.S. liquid gallon passing a point every second.
-
Ounce/minute [oz/min]
-
A flow rate showing how many ounces pass a reference point per minute, referring here to fluid volume.
-
Volumetric Flow Rate
-
The volume of fluid passing a point per unit time, such as gallons per second or ounces per minute.
