What Is This Tool?
This tool allows you to convert flow rates from ounce (UK)/hour, a unit reflecting very low mass throughput, to cubic centimeter per minute, a volumetric flow rate commonly used in medical, laboratory, and engineering settings.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in ounce (UK)/hour you wish to convert.
-
Select ounce (UK)/hour as the input unit and cubic centimeter/minute as the output unit.
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent flow rate in cubic centimeters per minute.
Key Features
-
Converts from ounce (UK)/hour to cubic centimeter per minute.
-
Supports very low flow rate measurements useful in precision dosing.
-
Web-based and easy to use for quick unit conversions.
-
Provides conversion aligned with pharmaceutical and laboratory requirements.
Examples
-
Convert 2 oz (UK)/h: 2 × 0.473551071 = 0.947102142 cm³/min
-
Convert 5 oz (UK)/h: 5 × 0.473551071 = 2.367755355 cm³/min
Common Use Cases
-
Low-rate dosing of laboratory reagents and chemicals with precision pumps.
-
Calibration of metering or drip-feed devices in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
-
Formulation and micro-dosing in perfumery and flavoring industries.
-
Setting infusion or syringe-pump delivery rates in medical dosing.
-
Measurement and specification of flows in microfluidics and chromatography.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure fluid density is known or close to water to maintain conversion accuracy.
-
Use this tool primarily for low flow rate scenarios typical in precision dosing.
-
Double-check input values for precise conversion in sensitive applications.
Limitations
-
Conversion accuracy depends on fluid density being similar to water's density.
-
Not suitable for high flow rates without proper scaling adjustments.
-
Assumes mass flow to volumetric flow equivalence which may vary with fluid properties.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does ounce (UK)/hour measure?
-
It measures a very low mass flow rate equivalent to one UK avoirdupois ounce passing per hour, used mainly for precise low-rate dosing.
-
What is cubic centimeter/minute used for?
-
It quantifies small volumetric flow rates in liquids or gases, commonly applied in medical dosing and laboratory equipment.
-
Can I use this conversion for high flow rates?
-
No, it is designed for low flow rate applications typical in precision dosing and microfluidics, not for high throughput scenarios.
Key Terminology
-
Ounce (UK)/hour
-
A mass flow rate unit defining one UK avoirdupois ounce passing per hour, typically used for very low flow measurements.
-
Cubic centimeter/minute
-
A volumetric flow rate unit representing one cubic centimeter or milliliter passing a point each minute, used in fluid flow measurements.
-
Flow rate
-
The quantity of fluid passing through a point per unit time, measured either by mass or volume.
