What does ounce/hour measure in flow rate?

Ounce/hour indicates the quantity of a substance delivered or transferred per hour, either as a mass or volume depending on the ounce definition.

When should I use ounce (UK)/second unit?

Use ounce (UK)/second to describe flow in terms of imperial fluid ounces per second, ideal for specifying small dispenser or laboratory flow rates.

Why do I need to be careful about different ounce types?

Because avoirdupois ounces, US fluid ounces, and UK fluid ounces differ, mixing them without awareness can cause inaccurate flow conversions.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms flow rate measurements from ounce per hour, which measures the quantity of substance transferred each hour, into ounce (UK) per second, a unit expressing volumetric flow rate in imperial fluid ounces per second.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the value in ounce/hour (oz/h) that you want to convert.
Select the target unit, ounce (UK)/second, as the desired output.
Click convert to get the equivalent flow rate in ounce (UK)/second.

Key Features

Converts flow rates specifically from ounce/hour to ounce (UK)/second.
Supports both volumetric and mass-based interpretations of ounces in flow measurement.
Ideal for low flow rates common in laboratory, beverage, and industrial applications.

Examples

10 ounce/hour equals 0.00289123 ounce (UK) per second.
50 ounce/hour equals 0.01445615 ounce (UK) per second.

Common Use Cases

Volumetric dispensing of beverages or syrups in bars and fountain machines.
Low-rate liquid dosing in laboratory syringe pumps and chemical dosing equipment.
Measuring small leak or feed rates for fuels, oils, or powders in manufacturing.

Tips & Best Practices

Confirm whether 'ounce' refers to mass (avoirdupois) or volume (fluid ounce) before converting.
Be mindful of the specific fluid properties as temperature and density can affect measurement accuracy.
Use this conversion mainly for small, precise flow measurements rather than large scale flows.

Limitations

Unit differences between US fluid ounces, avoirdupois ounces, and UK fluid ounces require careful consideration.
Assumes stable fluid properties; changes in temperature or density can impact measurements.
Most suitable for low flow rates; larger flows may need other unit conversions.

Key Terminology

Ounce/hour [oz/h]: A flow rate unit expressing quantity delivered per hour, based on avoirdupois or fluid ounces.
Ounce (UK)/second: A volumetric flow rate measured as the number of imperial fluid ounces passing per second.
Volumetric Flow Rate: A measurement of the volume of fluid passing a point per unit time.

Quick Knowledge Check

What does 1 ounce/hour represent?

A flow rate of one ounce delivered per second

A flow rate of one ounce delivered per hour

A weight measurement only

What unit does ounce (UK)/second measure?

Mass flow of avoirdupois ounces per second

Volumetric flow of imperial fluid ounces per second

Volume flow of US fluid ounces per hour

Why is unit definition important in these conversions?

Because all ounces refer to the same volume

Because US, UK, and avoirdupois ounces differ in volume or mass

Because flow conversions do not depend on unit specifics
