What does ounce/hour (oz/h) measure?

Ounce/hour denotes the flow rate indicating the quantity of a substance transferred per hour, either by mass (avoirdupois ounce) or volume (fluid ounce).

Why convert ounce/hour to liter/minute?

Converting to liter/minute allows expressing flow rates in the metric system commonly used in medical, engineering, and industrial contexts.

Can I use this conversion for mass and volume ounces interchangeably?

No, ounce/hour can represent mass or volume; this conversion assumes fluid ounces for volumetric flow. For mass ounces, additional density calculations are needed.

Low-rate liquid dosing in laboratory syringe pumps and chemical dosing systems.
Measuring leak or feed rates in oils, fuels, or gravimetric dosing of powders.
Respiratory therapy and medical oxygen flow settings.
Specifying flow rates for small pumps and laboratory peristaltic pumps.

Tips & Best Practices

Clarify whether you are using fluid ounces or avoirdupois ounces to ensure correct interpretation.
Use this conversion for moderate flow rates as commonly applied in medical and engineering environments.
Double-check the units to confirm they match your measurement context (volumetric vs. mass).
Consider potential measurement precision when handling very small flow rates.
Refer to the provided examples for practical guidance on calculation.

Limitations

Ounce/hour may refer to mass or volume, so interpretation depends on context.
Conversion assumes fluid ounces when converting to liter/minute.
Measurements for very small flow rates may be less precise due to rounding.
If mass ounces are used, densities must be factored separately.
Does not perform conversions beyond the specified units.
