What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms flow rates measured in ounce (UK) per hour—a mass flow rate used for very low throughput—into cubic yards per minute, a volumetric flow rate applicable for large-scale material movement.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in ounce (UK)/hour that you want to convert

10 ounce (UK)/hour equals approximately 6.1938141659854e-6 cubic yard/minute
-
100 ounce (UK)/hour equals approximately 6.1938141659854e-5 cubic yard/minute
Common Use Cases
-
Dosing small quantities of laboratory reagents and chemicals with precision pumps
-
Calibrating metering or drip-feed devices in pharmaceutical and specialty manufacturing
-
Managing discharge or pumping rates for large equipment in civil engineering projects
-

Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure the density of materials is consistent when converting from mass to volume
-
Use this conversion for very low mass flow measurements when volumetric rates are also needed
-
Scale conversions appropriately when working with large volume flow rates
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes constant density which may not be accurate for all substances
-
Very small conversion factors can make this less practical for large volumetric calculations without proper scaling
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does ounce (UK)/hour measure?
-
It measures a mass flow rate representing how many UK ounces pass a point per hour, typically used for very low throughput.
-
When should I convert ounce (UK)/hour to cubic yard/minute?
-
This conversion is helpful when you need to translate very small mass flow rates into volumetric flow rates for larger scale material handling or equipment sizing.
-
Are there any assumptions in this conversion?
-
Yes, the conversion assumes a constant density to relate mass-based flow to volume-based flow, which might not hold true for all materials.
Key Terminology
-
Ounce (UK)/hour
-
A mass flow rate equal to one UK avoirdupois ounce passing per hour, used to express very low mass throughput.
-
Cubic yard/minute
-
A volumetric flow rate representing one cubic yard passing a point every minute, commonly used for liquid or bulk material movement.
-
Conversion Rate
-
The factor used to translate a measurement from ounce (UK)/hour to cubic yard/minute, approximately 6.1938141659854e-7.
