What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms flow measurements from ounce (UK) per hour, representing very low mass flow rates, into hundred-cubic foot per minute, a measure of volumetric flow commonly used in ventilation and HVAC systems.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate value in ounce (UK) per hour
-
Select ounce (UK)/hour as the input unit and hundred-cubic foot/minute as the output unit
-
Click convert to see the equivalent volumetric flow rate
-
Use the output for ventilation or dosing system calculations
Key Features
-
Converts mass flow rate in ounce (UK)/hour to volumetric flow rate in hundred-cubic foot/minute

-
Provides easy-to-understand conversions for very low flow rates
-
Browser-based and simple interface for quick conversions
Examples
-
10 ounce (UK)/hour equals approximately 1.6723298248911e-6 hundred-cubic foot/minute
-
100 ounce (UK)/hour equals approximately 1.6723298248911e-5 hundred-cubic foot/minute
Common Use Cases
-
Low-rate dosing of laboratory reagents and chemicals using precision pumps
-
Calibration of small metering or drip-feed devices in pharmaceuticals and specialty manufacturing
-
Formulation and micro-dosing in perfumery or flavoring industries
-
Specifying fan capacities and airflow in large rooms or buildings for ventilation
-
Sizing industrial blowers and ductwork in process ventilation systems
-
Measuring airflow on test stands and in environmental control settings
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure proper measurement and calibration tools due to the very low flow rates involved
-
Account for fluid density or standard conditions when converting between mass and volumetric flow rates
-
Use this conversion to integrate precision dosing data with bulk airflow measurements in HVAC design
-
Verify units carefully to maintain accuracy in sensitive pharmaceutical or industrial processes
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes knowledge of fluid density or standard conditions due to differing measurement types
-
Small conversion factors reflect very low flow rates, requiring precise instruments for accurate measurement
-
Direct conversion without considering fluid properties may lead to inaccuracies
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does ounce (UK)/hour measure?
-
It measures a mass flow rate, specifically one UK avoirdupois ounce passing per hour, used to express very low mass throughput.
-
What applications use hundred-cubic foot per minute?
-
It is used to quantify volumetric airflow in ventilation, HVAC, industrial blowers, and environmental systems.
-
Can I directly convert ounce (UK)/hour to hundred-cubic foot/minute for all fluids?
-
No, since one is mass flow and the other is volumetric flow, conversion requires assumptions about fluid density or conditions.
Key Terminology
-
Ounce (UK)/hour
-
A unit of mass flow rate equal to one UK avoirdupois ounce passing per hour, used for very low mass throughput.
-
Hundred-cubic foot/minute
-
A volumetric flow rate representing 100 cubic feet of fluid passing a point every minute, used in ventilation and industrial airflow.
-
Mass flow rate
-
The quantity of mass passing through a point per unit time.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The volume of fluid passing through a point per unit time.
