What Is This Tool?
This unit converter transforms flow measurements from liter/hour, a volumetric rate often used in engineering and process controls, into ounce (UK)/hour, a mass flow unit suitable for very low throughput dosing and micro-dosing applications.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value in liters per hour (L/h) into the input field
-
Select the target unit as ounce (UK) per hour [oz (UK)/h]
-
Click convert to see the equivalent mass flow rate in ounce (UK)/hour
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow rates (liters per hour) to mass flow rates (ounce (UK) per hour)
-
Supports applications requiring precise dosing and low flow measurement
-
Browser-based and easy to use for engineering, laboratory, and industrial settings
Examples
-
Convert 2 L/h: 2 × 35.1950775456 oz (UK)/h = 70.3901550912 oz (UK)/h
-
Convert 0.5 L/h: 0.5 × 35.1950775456 oz (UK)/h = 17.5975387728 oz (UK)/h
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying fuel consumption for small engines and portable generators
-
Setting dosing pumps for chemicals, fertilizers, and laboratory reagents
-
Calibrating low-rate metering devices in pharmaceutical and specialty manufacturing
-
Managing precise formulations in perfumery and flavoring industries
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure the liquid density is known or assumed to achieve accurate mass flow conversions
-
Use this tool mainly for low to moderate continuous flow rates in liquid dosing
-
Consider environmental conditions like temperature and pressure that may affect density
Limitations
-
Conversion depends on liquid density to relate volume to mass accurately
-
Temperature and pressure variations can cause density-related conversion errors
-
Ounce (UK)/hour is designed for very low mass flow; unsuitable for high-volume flow scenarios
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can this converter be used for any liquid?
-
This converter assumes liquid density is known or assumed. Using it without considering density may lead to inaccurate mass flow results.
-
Why is density important in this conversion?
-
Density links the volumetric flow rate in liters per hour to the mass flow rate in ounce (UK) per hour, which measures weight rather than volume.
-
Is ounce (UK)/hour suitable for high volume flows?
-
No, ounce (UK)/hour is intended for very low mass throughput and fine dosing, not large-scale industrial flows.
Key Terminology
-
Liter/hour [L/h]
-
A volumetric flow unit denoting the volume of liquid passing a point each hour, commonly used for low to moderate continuous flow rates.
-
Ounce (UK)/hour [oz (UK)/h]
-
A mass flow rate unit equivalent to one UK avoirdupois ounce passing per hour, suitable for precise low-rate dosing.
-
Density
-
The mass per unit volume of a liquid, essential for converting between volumetric and mass flow rates.
