What Is This Tool?
This unit converter lets you transform flow rate measurements from ounce (UK) per second to gallon (US) per second, helping bridge small-scale precise flow rates with larger industrial volume flows.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate value in ounce (UK)/second
-
Select ounce (UK)/second as the from-unit and gallon (US)/second as the to-unit
-
Click on convert to get the equivalent flow rate in gallon (US)/second
-
Review the result and use examples to verify your calculations

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does an ounce (UK)/second measure?
-
It measures the volumetric flow rate representing the number of imperial fluid ounces passing a point each second.
-
How large is one gallon (US)/second in liters per second?
-
One gallon (US)/second equals 3.785411784 liters per second.
-
Why convert from ounce (UK)/second to gallon (US)/second?
-
To translate small-scale precise flow rates used in laboratories into larger flow units common in industrial or firefighting applications.
Key Terminology
