What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms flow measurements from ounce per hour, a common unit expressing substance delivery per hour, into cubic centimeters per second, a standard metric unit for volumetric flow rates.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the numerical value in ounce/hour (oz/h) you wish to convert
-
Select the appropriate ounce definition (mass or fluid) if applicable
-
Choose cubic centimeter/second (cm³/s) as the target unit
-
Click the convert button to see the result displayed instantly
-
Use the provided formula and examples for manual verification
Key Features
-
Converts between ounce/hour (oz/h) and cubic centimeter/second (cm³/s)
-
Supports flow rate conversions for both mass and volume ounces
-
Provides clear formulas and practical examples
-
Ideal for precise scientific, medical, and industrial applications
-
Browser-based and easy to use without installation
Examples
-
Convert 5 oz/h to cm³/s: 5 × 0.0082148693 = 0.04107435 cm³/s
-
Convert 10 oz/h to cm³/s: 10 × 0.0082148693 = 0.082148693 cm³/s
Common Use Cases
-
Volumetric dispensing of beverages or syrups in bar and fountain equipment
-
Low-flow liquid dosing in laboratory syringe pumps and chemical treatment systems
-
Measuring small leak rates or feed rates for oils and fuels in manufacturing
-
Medical infusion and syringe pump drug delivery rate conversions
-
Microfluidics experiments requiring precise volumetric flow measurements
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure correct ounce type (mass vs. fluid) is used to match your application
-
Utilize this conversion for standardizing measurements with metric equipment
-
Cross-check with manual calculations using the provided formula for verification
-
Be aware of the different fluid ounce definitions to avoid inaccuracies
-
Apply this converter in contexts where precise, small volume flows are critical
Limitations
-
Ounce per hour may reference mass or volume; confirm which applies before converting
-
Conversion assumes US fluid ounces; UK or other fluid ounce variations require adjustments
-
Measurement precision at very low flow rates can affect conversion accuracy
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does this converter work for both mass and fluid ounces?
-
The converter can be used for both, but care must be taken as ounce per hour may refer to either mass or fluid ounces, which differ in volume and require appropriate context.
-
What is the conversion rate from ounce/hour to cubic centimeter/second?
-
One ounce per hour equals approximately 0.0082148693 cubic centimeters per second.
-
Can I use this conversion for UK fluid ounces?
-
This tool assumes US fluid ounces. Using UK fluid ounces needs adjustment due to differences in fluid ounce volume.
Key Terminology
-
Ounce/hour (oz/h)
-
A flow rate unit indicating the quantity of a substance delivered or transferred per hour, either as mass (avoirdupois ounce) or volume (fluid ounce).
-
Cubic centimeter/second (cm³/s)
-
A metric unit of volumetric flow rate representing one cubic centimeter of fluid passing a point each second; equal to one milliliter per second.
-
US fluid ounce
-
A unit of volume in the US customary system, used as the basis for volume-related ounce per hour flow conversions.
