What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms volumetric flow measurements from ounce (UK) per minute, an imperial unit, to cubic centimeters per second, a metric unit. It facilitates accurate conversion for applications where imperial and metric flow units intersect.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in ounce (UK) per minute that you want to convert.
-
Select the units as ounce (UK)/minute for the input and cubic centimeter/second for the output.
-
Initiate the conversion to see the equivalent flow rate in cubic centimeters per second.
-
Use the converted value for measurement documentation or equipment calibration.
Key Features
-
Converts ounce (UK) per minute to cubic centimeter per second accurately.
-
Suitable for low liquid dispensing rates and precise flow measurements.
-
Supports scientific, medical, and industrial flow unit conversions.
-
Browser-based and easy to use without additional software.
Examples
-
2 ounce (UK)/minute converts to 0.947102142 cubic centimeter/second.
-
5 ounce (UK)/minute converts to 2.367755355 cubic centimeter/second.
Common Use Cases
-
Measuring low liquid flow rates in beverage and brewing equipment using imperial units.
-
Calibrating small dosing or metering pumps in laboratories or industrial settings.
-
Specifying infusion rates in medical devices like syringe pumps.
-
Conducting microfluidics experiments requiring milliliter/second flow control.
-
Assessing leak rates and flow specifications in small pumps or vacuum systems.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure correct unit selection before conversion to maintain accuracy.
-
Consider the difference in time units (minute vs. second) when interpreting results.
-
Use calibrated instruments to verify flow rates at very low measurements for stability.
-
Account for fluid properties like temperature and viscosity as they may influence flow behavior.
Limitations
-
Time scale differences may affect conversion precision due to minutes versus seconds.
-
Instrument calibration limits may impact measurement accuracy at low flow rates.
-
Assumes standard fluid properties; variations can alter actual flow performance.
Frequently Asked Questions

Key Terminology
-
Ounce (UK)/minute
-
A volumetric flow unit representing one UK fluid ounce passing a point each minute, used in imperial unit contexts.
-
Cubic centimeter/second
-
A metric volumetric flow rate equal to one cubic centimeter flowing per second, numerically identical to one milliliter per second.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The quantity of fluid passing through a point per unit time, often used to measure liquids or gases.
