What Is This Tool?
This unit converter transforms flow rate measurements from ounces per hour (oz/h), representing quantities delivered per hour, into cubic inches per second (in³/s), a volumetric flow rate used commonly in imperial units.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Input the known flow rate value in ounce/hour (oz/h)
-
Select ounce/hour as the original unit and cubic inch/second as the target unit
-
Click the convert button to get the equivalent flow rate in cubic inch/second (in³/s)
-
Review the result, which applies the conversion factor 1 oz/h = 0.0005013021 in³/s
-
Use the output for your application or record keeping
Key Features
-
Converts flow rates from ounce/hour to cubic inch/second accurately using a predefined formula
-
Supports flow measurements involving both mass and fluid ounces
-
Useful for industries including beverage dispensing, laboratory dosing, and hydraulic systems
-
Simple browser-based interface for quick conversions
-
Provides example calculations to demonstrate usage
Examples
-
Converting 5 oz/h yields 5 × 0.0005013021 = 0.00250651 in³/s
-
Converting 10 oz/h gives 10 × 0.0005013021 = 0.005013021 in³/s
Common Use Cases
-
Volumetric dispensing of beverages or syrups in bar and fountain equipment
-
Low-rate liquid dosing in laboratory syringe pumps and water treatment systems
-
Measuring leak rates or feed rates for oils, fuels, and powder dosing in manufacturing
-
Specifying flow rates in hydraulic components and miniature pumps using imperial units
-
Assessing dispensing rates for adhesives, lubricants, and inks in industrial contexts
-
Evaluating small airflow or leak rates in pneumatic fittings and HVAC systems
Tips & Best Practices
-
Confirm whether the ounce unit refers to mass or fluid ounces before converting
-
Apply the conversion under steady flow conditions for consistent results
-
Use this converter in contexts where imperial unit flow measurements are standard
-
Refer to example conversions to verify your calculations
-
Consider fluid properties when interpreting volumetric flow rates after conversion
Limitations
-
Ounce/hour may represent mass or volume ounces, so specify the unit type clearly
-
Conversions assume a standard fluid ounce volume which may vary under different conditions
-
Flow assumptions may affect accuracy if fluid properties or conditions differ
-
Not suitable for converting other unrelated units or non-flow quantities
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does ounce/hour measure in this context?
-
Ounce/hour measures the quantity of substance delivered or transferred per hour and can refer to mass (avoirdupois ounce) or volume (fluid ounce).
-
Why convert ounce/hour to cubic inch/second?
-
This conversion helps quantify low-rate volumetric flows in imperial units useful in hydraulic, pneumatic, and laboratory systems requiring flow rates in cubic inches per second.
-
Are the conversion results affected by fluid properties?
-
Yes, since conversions assume standard fluid ounce volume and steady flow, variations in fluid characteristics can impact accuracy.
Key Terminology
-
Ounce/hour [oz/h]
-
A flow rate unit expressing the amount of substance delivered per hour, which may be in mass or fluid ounces.
-
Cubic inch/second [in³/s]
-
A volumetric flow rate representing one cubic inch of volume passing a point every second, commonly used in imperial unit systems.
-
Flow rate
-
The volume or mass of fluid passing through a point in a unit of time.
