What Is This Tool?
This converter enables you to transform flow measurements from ounce (UK) per minute — an imperial volumetric flow unit — into the metric unit liter per minute. It supports users needing to switch between these units for diverse applications like medical therapy, laboratory pumps, and beverage dispensing.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value in ounce (UK)/minute
-
Select ounce (UK)/minute as the source unit and liter/minute as the target unit
-
Click convert to view the liter per minute equivalent
-
Use the result for calibration, documentation, or equipment settings
Key Features
-
Converts flow rates from ounce (UK)/minute to liter/minute [L/min]
-
Browser-based and easy to use
-
Supports industrial, laboratory, and medical flow measurement needs
-
Based on defined conversion rate of 1 ounce (UK)/minute equals 0.0284130643 L/min
Examples
-
Convert 5 ounce (UK)/minute: 5 × 0.0284130643 = 0.1420653215 L/min
-
Convert 10 ounce (UK)/minute: 10 × 0.0284130643 = 0.284130643 L/min
Common Use Cases
-
Calibrating small dosing or metering pumps in laboratories using imperial units
-
Measuring low liquid flow rates for beverage or brewing equipment
-
Setting respiratory therapy oxygen or ventilator flow in liters per minute
-
Comparing flow rates of household appliances or irrigation systems requiring imperial units
Tips & Best Practices
-
Confirm the units used in your measurement context before converting
-
Use precise instruments when measuring low flow rates to reduce error
-
Verify conversion results for critical applications such as medical or process control
-
Consider region-specific unit conventions when working with mixed systems
Limitations
-
Low flow rates require careful measurement to maintain accuracy
-
Unit conventions differ regionally, so attention is needed to ensure correct conversions
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one ounce (UK) per minute represent?
-
It represents the volume of one UK fluid ounce flowing past a point each minute, used primarily in imperial unit contexts for low liquid dispensing rates.
-
Why convert ounce (UK)/minute to liter/minute?
-
Converting to liter/minute facilitates compatibility with medical, laboratory, and engineering equipment standardized on metric flow units.
-
Is this conversion suitable for high flow rates?
-
This converter focuses on low to moderate flow ranges where ounce (UK)/minute is commonly used; for very high flows, other units may be more appropriate.
Key Terminology
-
Ounce (UK)/minute
-
An imperial volumetric flow unit representing one UK fluid ounce passing a point every minute.
-
Liter/minute [L/min]
-
A metric volumetric flow rate unit measuring the volume of fluid passing a point each minute.
-
Volumetric Flow Rate
-
A measure of the volume of fluid passing through a point over a given time.
