What Is This Tool?
This converter helps you translate flow rates from ounce (UK) per hour, a unit measuring low mass throughput, into gallon (US) per second, a volumetric flow rate used for larger scale liquid flows.

Browser-based and user-friendly interface
Examples
-
10 Ounce (UK)/hour is equal to 0.00002084982638834 Gallon (US)/second
-
50 Ounce (UK)/hour converts to 0.0001042491319417 Gallon (US)/second
Common Use Cases
-
Precisely dosing laboratory reagents and chemicals with pumps
-
Calibrating small metering or drip-feed devices in pharmaceuticals
-
Formulating and micro-dosing ingredients in perfumery or flavoring
-
Measuring discharge rates of water or firefighting pumps
-
Assessing flow in irrigation systems and industrial water lines
-
Estimating throughput during brief liquid transfer operations
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure fluid density is consistent when converting between mass and volume flow
-
Use precise instruments for very small flow measurements
-
Be aware of the different flow types (mass vs. volume) to interpret results properly
-
Check units carefully before performing conversions to avoid errors
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes constant fluid density which can vary by fluid type and temperature
-
Mass and volumetric flow units represent different flow properties requiring careful use
-
Small magnitudes in measurement may require high-precision equipment for accuracy
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 gallon (US)/second used for?
-
It is a volumetric flow rate representing one US liquid gallon passing a point each second, often used for high-capacity liquid flows.
-
Why do I need to convert from ounce (UK)/hour to gallon (US)/second?
-
This helps relate very low mass flow measurements in precise dosing to larger volumetric flow systems in industrial applications.
Key Terminology
-
Ounce (UK)/hour
-
A mass flow rate equal to one UK avoirdupois ounce passing per hour, used for expressing very low mass throughput.
-
Gallon (US)/second
-
A volumetric flow rate representing one US liquid gallon passing a point each second.
-
Mass flow rate
-
The amount of mass passing through a point per unit time.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The amount of volume passing through a point per unit time.
