What Is This Tool?
This converter changes flow rates measured in ounce per second (oz/s) into cubic centimeter per hour (cc/hour), useful for translating fast, short-duration flows into slower, steady volumetric rates.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate in ounce/second (oz/s)
-
Select ounce/second as the source unit and cubic centimeter/hour as the target unit
-
Click convert to get the equivalent flow rate in cubic centimeter/hour
Key Features
-
Converts flow values from ounce/second to cubic centimeter/hour units
-
Supports unit definitions linked to volume and mass flow contexts
-
Ideal for precise flow control in medical, laboratory, and manufacturing settings
Examples
-
Convert 0.5 oz/s: 0.5 × 106464.706425 = 53232.3532125 cc/hour
-
Convert 2 oz/s: 2 × 106464.706425 = 212929.41285 cc/hour
Common Use Cases
-
Controlling dosing speeds of liquids in food and beverage dispensation
-
Setting very low infusion rates in medical pumps for neonates or drug microdosing
-
Measuring and calibrating small feed rates or leak rates in engineering and microfluidics
Tips & Best Practices
-
Be clear whether ounce refers to mass or volume to avoid confusion
-
Consider fluid density differences if converting mass flow ounces
-
Use sensitive equipment to measure very low flow rates in cubic centimeters per hour
Limitations
-
Ounce per second units may represent mass or volume depending on context
-
Conversion assumes volume-based fluid ounces, not mass ounces
-
Measuring extremely low flow rates accurately requires specialized instruments
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does ounce per second (oz/s) measure?
-
It measures the flow rate indicating how many ounces pass a point each second and can refer to either mass or volumetric flow.
-
Why convert ounce per second to cubic centimeter per hour?
-
To express rapid or short-duration flows in ounces per second as low steady flow rates in cubic centimeters per hour, enabling precise control in medical and engineering applications.
-
Can this conversion handle mass ounces?
-
The conversion assumes fluid ounces representing volume. Using mass ounces requires considering density differences for accuracy.
Key Terminology
-
Ounce/second [oz/s]
-
A flow rate unit indicating the quantity of ounces passing a point per second, representing either mass or volumetric flow depending on context.
-
Cubic centimeter/hour
-
A volumetric flow unit representing one cubic centimeter (milliliter) of fluid passing a point in one hour, used for very low steady flow rates.
-
Volumetric Flow Rate
-
The volume of fluid passing through a point per unit time.
