What Is This Tool?
This converter helps translate flow rates measured in ounce (UK) per hour into their equivalent in liter per hour, facilitating the handling of low-rate mass flows and corresponding volumetric flows in various applications.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in ounce (UK)/hour that you want to convert
-
Select the from and to units as oz (UK)/h and L/h respectively
-
Click the convert button to get the value in liters per hour
-
Use the resulting output to guide dosing or flow rate adjustments
Key Features
-
Converts between mass flow rate (oz (UK)/h) and volumetric flow rate (L/h)
-
Supports precise dosing and flow measurement in laboratory and industrial contexts
-
Browser-based and simple to use interface
-
Provides direct use of standardized conversion factors
Examples
-
Convert 5 oz (UK)/h: 5 × 0.0284130643 = 0.1420653215 L/h
-
Convert 10 oz (UK)/h: 10 × 0.0284130643 = 0.284130643 L/h
Common Use Cases
-
Low-rate dosing of laboratory reagents and chemicals with precision pumps
-
Specifying fuel consumption for small engines and portable generators
-
Calibration of small metering devices in pharmaceutical manufacturing
-
Micro-dosing ingredients in perfumery and flavoring processes
-
Controlling liquid flows in beverage processing and small industrial setups
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure correct unit selection before conversion
-
Verify fluid density assumptions when converting mass to volume
-
Use the conversion for precise dosing and flow rate monitoring
-
Double-check small values due to low flow rates in certain applications
Limitations
-
Assumes a constant fluid density for converting mass flow to volumetric flow
-
Fluid composition or temperature variations can affect conversion accuracy
-
Ounce (UK) is a mass unit; direct volumetric conversion requires density data
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does ounce (UK)/hour measure?
-
It measures a mass flow rate equal to one UK avoirdupois ounce passing per hour, typically used to express very low mass throughput.
-
Why convert from ounce (UK)/hour to liter/hour?
-
This conversion translates low mass flow rates used in dosing into volumetric flow units more suitable for liquid handling and process control.
-
Can I convert without knowing the fluid density?
-
Since ounce (UK) is a mass unit and liter/hour is volumetric, knowing or assuming fluid density is important for accurate conversion.
Key Terminology
-
Ounce (UK)/hour [oz (UK)/h]
-
A mass flow rate unit based on one UK avoirdupois ounce passing per hour, used for precise low-rate mass throughput measurements.
-
Liter/hour [L/h]
-
A volumetric flow rate unit measuring the volume of liquid flowing past a point in an hour, employed for low to moderate liquid flow rates.
-
Conversion Rate
-
The fixed factor used to convert from one unit to another; here, 1 oz (UK)/h equals 0.0284130643 L/h.
