What Is This Tool?
This online converter allows you to translate flow measurements from the unit ounce (UK)/hour, representing very low mass flow rates, into cubic foot/minute, a standard volumetric flow unit widely used in ventilation and engineering fields.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in ounce (UK)/hour you want to convert
-
Select cubic foot/minute as the target unit
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent volumetric flow rate
Key Features
-
Converts low-rate mass flow units to volumetric flow rates
-
Supports ounce (UK)/hour and cubic foot/minute units
-
Useful for laboratory dosing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and HVAC design
Examples
-
Convert 10 oz (UK)/h to cubic foot/minute: 10 × 0.0000167233 = 0.000167233 ft³/min
-
Convert 100 oz (UK)/h to cubic foot/minute: 100 × 0.0000167233 = 0.00167233 ft³/min
Common Use Cases
-
Low-rate dosing of chemicals and reagents in laboratory settings
-
Calibration of small metering devices in pharmaceuticals and specialty manufacturing
-
Designing ventilation rates for HVAC systems and sizing ductwork
-
Specifying compressed air delivery in pneumatic systems
Tips & Best Practices
-
Consider fluid density when converting between mass and volumetric flow rates for accuracy
-
Use the tool for very low flow rates common in micro-dosing and formulation
-
Verify conversion results especially when used in critical manufacturing or engineering applications
Limitations
-
Conversion links mass flow rate to volumetric flow rate, so fluid density variations affect accuracy
-
Very low flow rates can result in significant errors if measurement precision is insufficient
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does ounce (UK)/hour measure?
-
It measures a very low mass flow rate equal to one UK avoirdupois ounce passing per hour.
-
What is cubic foot/minute used for?
-
It measures volumetric flow rate, often to quantify airflow through ducts and ventilation systems.
-
Why is fluid density important in this conversion?
-
Because the conversion moves between mass and volume flow rates, differences in fluid density affect the accuracy of results.
Key Terminology
-
Ounce (UK)/hour [oz (UK)/h]
-
A mass flow rate equal to one UK avoirdupois ounce passing per hour, used for very low mass throughput.
-
Cubic foot/minute [ft³/min]
-
A volumetric flow rate representing one cubic foot of fluid passing per minute, commonly used in ventilation and engineering.
