What Is This Tool?
This online converter transforms flow rate values from ounce/minute (oz/min), commonly used to describe volumetric flow in fluid ounces per minute, into cubic centimeter/hour (cc/h), a unit representing very low volumetric flow rates. This tool caters to users needing precise conversion for applications ranging from medical infusion to manufacturing fluid dispensing.

-
0.5 oz/min converts to 887.205886875 cubic centimeter/hour by multiplying 0.5 × 1774.41177375
Common Use Cases
-
Dosing small liquid additives like adhesives or flavorings in pumps with output in fluid ounces per minute
-
Specifying lubrication or coolant supply rates in manufacturing equipment using oz/min units
-
Measuring syrup, sauce, or beverage dispensing rates in food service and laboratory environments
-
Setting precise low infusion flow rates in medical pumps for neonatal or drug microdosing
-
Conducting microfluidic experiments and managing precision syringe or peristaltic pump flows
-
Detecting and measuring small leaks or dispensing rates of lubricants, adhesives, or seals in engineering tests
Tips & Best Practices
-
Confirm whether ounce/minute refers to fluid volume when performing this conversion
-
Use steady, continuous flow data to ensure accurate results with this converter
-
Refer to conversion examples to understand how to apply the formula correctly
-
Avoid using this conversion for turbulent or highly variable flow rates
-
Use this tool for applications requiring volumetric flow representation at very low rates
Limitations
-
Ounce/minute may represent either mass or volumetric flow; this conversion assumes volumetric flow using US fluid ounces
-
Minor numerical inaccuracies can arise due to rounding of conversion constants
-
Most reliable for steady, continuous flows; not suitable for turbulent or fluctuating flows
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does ounce/minute always mean volumetric flow?
-
No, ounce/minute can refer to either mass flow or volumetric flow depending on context; this converter assumes volumetric flow based on US fluid ounces.
-
What is one ounce/minute in cubic centimeter/hour?
-
One ounce/minute equals approximately 1774.41177375 cubic centimeter/hour in volumetric flow.
-
Can this conversion be used for irregular or fluctuating flow rates?
-
This conversion is most accurate for steady, continuous flows and may not be suitable for turbulent or highly variable flow situations.
Key Terminology
-
Ounce/minute [oz/min]
-
A flow rate unit indicating how many ounces pass a point each minute, representing either mass or volumetric flow depending on context.
-
Cubic centimeter/hour
-
A volumetric flow rate unit that signifies the passage of one cubic centimeter (one milliliter) of fluid per hour, used for measuring very low steady flows.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
Measurement of the volume of fluid passing a point per unit time, such as fluid ounces per minute or cubic centimeters per hour.
