What Is This Tool?
This tool converts flow rates from ounce (UK)/hour, a unit for very low mass flow, into pound/second for gasoline measured at a reference temperature of 15.5 °C. It is designed for precise and standardized mass flow conversion.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value in ounce (UK)/hour into the input field.
-
Select the target unit as pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
-
Click the convert button to obtain the corresponding mass flow rate in pounds per second.
-
Use the result for measurement, calibration, or specification purposes.
Key Features
-
Converts ounce (UK)/hour, suitable for low-rate dosing, into pound/second for gasoline at 15.5°C.
-
Accounts for gasoline's temperature-dependent density at the standard reference temperature.
-
Supports applications in pharmaceuticals, chemical dosing, fuel measurement, and automotive engineering.
-
Easy-to-use, browser-based unit conversion without complex inputs.
Examples
-
Converting 10 oz (UK)/h results in 0.000128643 lb/s (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
-
Converting 50 oz (UK)/h results in 0.000643215 lb/s (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
Common Use Cases
-

Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure proper unit selection and double-check inputs before converting.
-
Use high-precision instruments when measuring very low flow rates in ounce (UK)/hour.
-
Account for the standard temperature condition when interpreting pound/second flow results.
-
Apply the tool for conversions related to standardized measurement contexts to maintain consistency.
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes gasoline density at 15.5 °C; temperature variations can affect accuracy.
-
Gasoline composition changes may influence conversion relevance.
-
Very low flow rates in ounce (UK)/hour require sensitive measurement equipment for reliability.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the gasoline temperature set at 15.5°C in this conversion?
-
The temperature of 15.5°C is used as a reference to standardize gasoline density, allowing consistent mass flow calculation unaffected by temperature-related volume changes.
-
Can I use this converter for other liquids besides gasoline?
-
This converter specifically accounts for gasoline's density at 15.5°C, so using it with other liquids may lead to inaccuracies unless their properties match those conditions.
-
What is the practical application of converting very low flow rates like ounce (UK)/hour?
-
Very low flow rates are important in precise dosing tasks such as pharmaceuticals, chemical metering, and perfumery, where small quantities must be accurately controlled over time.
Key Terminology
-
Ounce (UK)/hour
-
A unit of mass flow equal to one UK avoirdupois ounce passing per hour, used to express very low mass flow rates.
-
Pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate of gasoline expressed in pounds per second, standardized to a temperature of 15.5 °C to account for density variations.
-
Mass Flow Rate
-
The quantity of mass passing through a point per unit time, crucial for accurate measurement in dosing and industrial processes.
