Precision dosing of laboratory reagents and chemicals with pumps
-
Calibration of metering and drip-feed devices in pharmaceuticals
-
Micro-dosing of ingredients in perfumery and flavoring
-
Volumetric dispensing in beverage and bar equipment
-
Chemical dosing and water treatment applications

Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure you understand whether you are measuring mass or volume ounces
-
Use the conversion only for mass-based flow rates to avoid errors
-
Double-check unit definitions especially between UK and US ounces
-
Apply the conversion formula carefully for accurate results
-
Consider the application context to select the proper ounce unit
Limitations
-
Ounce/hour may indicate either mass (avoirdupois) or fluid ounce, leading to ambiguity
-
Variations exist between UK and US fluid ounces that can cause discrepancies
-
The conversion is intended for mass flow rates and not for fluid volume without caution
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does ounce (UK)/hour measure?
-
Ounce (UK)/hour is a mass flow rate representing one UK avoirdupois ounce passing per hour, commonly used for very low mass throughput in precise dosing.
-
Can this conversion be used for fluid ounces?
-
No, this conversion applies mainly to mass-based ounces. Caution is needed when dealing with fluid ounces as ounce/hour can represent volume or mass.
-
Why is the conversion rate not exactly 1?
-
Because ounce (UK)/hour and ounce/hour differ slightly due to differing ounce definitions, the conversion rate is 0.96076 to reflect this difference.
Key Terminology
-
Ounce (UK)/hour [oz (UK)/h]
-
A mass flow unit representing one UK avoirdupois ounce per hour, used for very low mass flow rates.
-
Ounce/hour [oz/h]
-
A flow rate unit expressing substance quantity per hour, where 'oz' can mean mass or fluid ounces depending on context.
-
Conversion Rate
-
The fixed factor of 0.96076 used to convert ounce (UK)/hour to ounce/hour.
