Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does ounce (UK)/second measure?
-
It measures the volume of imperial fluid ounces flowing past a point each second.
-
Why convert ounce (UK)/second to liter/minute?
-
Because liter/minute is a common metric unit used in medical, engineering, and laboratory environments for moderate flow rates.
-
Can this conversion be used for all types of fluids?
-
The conversion assumes ideal conditions; fluid properties and temperature variations may affect the accuracy.
Key Terminology
-
Ounce (UK)/second
-
A unit measuring volumetric flow rate equal to imperial fluid ounces passing a point each second.
