What Is This Tool?
This unit converter helps you change flow rate values from ounce (UK)/minute, a small imperial volumetric flow unit, into cubic foot/second [ft^3/s], a larger flow measurement commonly used in engineering and hydrology.
How to Use This Tool?

Common Use Cases
-
Calibrating dosing or metering pumps in laboratories or industrial settings using imperial volume units
-
Measuring low liquid dispensing rates in beverage or brewing equipment with imperial units
-
Reporting river and stream discharge in hydrology for flood forecasting
-
Designing irrigation, wastewater systems, and hydraulic turbines where larger flow units are required
Tips & Best Practices
-
Enter values carefully to avoid errors due to very small conversion factors
-
Verify unit selection to correspond correctly with your measurement context
-
Be aware of imperial versus US customary unit differences to prevent confusion
-
Use the tool for low flow rates where ounce (UK)/minute is practical before converting to larger units
Limitations
-
Ounce (UK)/minute is suitable only for very low flow rates and may be impractical for large flows
-
Measurement precision and rounding may affect conversion accuracy, especially for very small or large numbers
-
Differences between imperial and US customary units could cause discrepancies if not accounted for
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 1 ounce (UK)/minute represent in flow measurement?
-
It represents a volumetric flow unit where one UK fluid ounce of fluid passes a point every minute.
-
Why convert from ounce (UK)/minute to cubic foot/second?
-
To translate small flow rates used in dosing or household systems into larger volumetric flow units used in engineering or hydrological applications.
-
Are there precision issues when converting these units?
-
Yes, precision can be limited by device accuracy and rounding, especially with very small or very large flow values.
Key Terminology
-
Ounce (UK)/minute
-
A volumetric flow unit equal to one UK fluid ounce passing a point each minute, used for very low flow rates.
-
Cubic foot/second [ft^3/s]
-
An imperial/US customary unit indicating the volume of one cubic foot of fluid passing a point each second, common in engineering and hydrology.
-
Volumetric Flow Rate
-
The volume of fluid that passes through a given surface per unit time.
