What does milliliter per hour measure?

Milliliter per hour measures the volume of fluid passing a point each hour, often used for slow, precise flow rates like in medical infusions.

Why convert milliliter/hour to milliliter/second?

Converting to milliliter per second helps monitor and control flow rates in real time and matches devices calibrated on a per-second basis.

Are there challenges with converting small flow rates?

Yes, very low milliliter per hour rates become small decimal values in milliliter per second, which can be difficult to measure accurately due to sensor limits.

Supports precise flow measurements used in medical and laboratory settings
Browser-based and easy to use with a straightforward interface
Facilitates integration with devices calibrated on a per-second basis

Examples

10 mL/h converts to 0.002777778 mL/s
50 mL/h converts to 0.01388889 mL/s

Common Use Cases

Setting infusion pump rates for precise drug delivery in healthcare
Controlling reagent dosing rates in laboratory experiments and microfluidics
Small-scale chemical dosing and tracer injections in environmental monitoring
Measuring small gas flows in respiratory and pulmonary studies

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure steady, continuous flows to use this conversion accurately
Use the tool for values compatible with fluid or gas volumetric measurements
Apply converted rates for devices calibrated to measure flow per second
Be cautious with very low flow rates due to sensor sensitivity limitations

Limitations

Very low mL/h values convert to very small decimals in mL/s which can be hard to measure precisely
Conversion assumes steady flow; irregular or pulsatile flows need more complex methods
Temperature and pressure changes may affect actual volumetric flow beyond the conversion
