What Is This Tool?
This tool converts volumetric flow rates from ounce (UK) per second, a unit used to measure fluid flow in beverage service and labs, into cubic centimeters per hour, a unit suited for very low and precise flow rates in fields like medical infusion and microfluidics.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in ounce (UK)/second you want to convert.
-
Select cubic centimeter/hour as the target unit.
-
View the converted flow rate immediately displayed in cubic centimeters per hour.
Key Features
-
Converts flow rate units between ounce (UK)/second and cubic centimeter/hour.
-
Supports use cases in beverage dispensing, pharmaceuticals, and medical pump settings.
-
Provides straightforward input, instant conversion, and clear output values.
Examples
-
Convert 2 ounce (UK)/second: equals 204,574.06 cubic centimeter/hour.
-
Convert 0.5 ounce (UK)/second: equals 51,143.52 cubic centimeter/hour.
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying small dispenser or tap flow rates in beverage service and breweries.
-
Reporting dosing or drip rates in laboratory liquid handling and pharmaceutical compounding.
-
Setting very low infusion rates in medical pumps for neonatal or drug microdosing.
-
Measuring microfluidic flow rates and small leaks in engineering contexts.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure correct unit selection to avoid confusion between larger and very low flow rates.
-
Use the converter for accurate translation of flow measurements across different application fields.
-
Consider calibration for precise low flow measurements when working close to the lower limits of the units.
Limitations
-
Ounce (UK)/second represents significantly larger flow volumes compared to cubic centimeter/hour.
-
Very low flow measurements in cubic centimeter/hour require careful calibration and may be sensitive to measurement errors.
-
Conversion does not address accuracy or measurement precision; it only converts unit values.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one ounce (UK)/second represent?
-
It is a volumetric flow rate indicating the number of imperial fluid ounces passing a point per second.
-
Why use cubic centimeter/hour as a flow unit?
-
It quantifies very low steady flows, often used in medical pumps, microfluidics, and precision dispensing.
-
Is this converter suitable for very low flow rates?
-
Yes, converting to cubic centimeter/hour allows finer measurement of very low and steady volumetric flow rates.
Key Terminology
-
Ounce (UK)/second
-
A flow rate unit measuring the passage of imperial fluid ounces per second.
-
Cubic centimeter/hour
-
A volumetric flow rate indicating how many cubic centimeters (milliliters) pass per hour.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The volume of fluid passing a point in a given time period.
