What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to change flow measurements from ounce (UK) per second, a volumetric flow rate, into ounce per hour (oz/h), a unit expressing quantity per hour in either mass or volume context.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in ounce (UK) per second you want to convert.
-
Select ounce/hour [oz/h] as the target unit.
-
Initiate the conversion to obtain the equivalent value in ounce/hour.
Key Features
-
Converts flow rates from ounce (UK)/second to ounce/hour accurately based on defined conversion rate.
-
Supports applications in beverage service, laboratory dosing, pharmaceutical compounding, and microfluidics.
-
Includes clear definitions and practical use cases for both units involved.
Examples
-
Converting 1 Ounce (UK)/second results in 3458.74 Ounce/hour [oz/h].
-
Converting 0.5 Ounce (UK)/second results in 1729.37 Ounce/hour [oz/h].
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying small dispenser or tap flow rates in beverage service and breweries.
-
Reporting dosing or drip rates in laboratories and pharmaceutical compounding.
-
Measuring low-rate liquid dosing in chemical or water-treatment systems.
-
Describing small leak or microfluidic flow rates in engineering and testing.
-
Tracking small leak or feed rates for oils, fuels, or powder dosing in manufacturing.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Confirm whether ounce refers to fluid or mass depending on your context before converting.
-
Use this conversion when comparing fast dispensing rates with slow or cumulative flow.
-
Account for differences between UK imperial fluid ounces and US fluid ounces for accurate volume measurements.
Limitations
-
Ounce/hour may refer to mass or volume, requiring careful interpretation based on application.
-
Differences between UK and US fluid ounces can introduce volume inaccuracies if not accounted for.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What exactly does ounce (UK)/second measure?
-
It measures the volumetric flow rate as the number of UK imperial fluid ounces passing a point every second.
-
Can ounce/hour represent both mass and volume?
-
Yes, ounce/hour can denote either mass or fluid volume depending on the specific context.
-
Why is this conversion useful in dosing applications?
-
It helps compare rapid dispensing rates to slower, cumulative dosing over an hour for accurate control.
Key Terminology
-
Ounce (UK)/second
-
A unit of volumetric flow rate representing UK imperial fluid ounces passing per second (1 oz (UK) = 28.4130625 mL).
-
Ounce/hour [oz/h]
-
A flow rate describing quantity delivered or transferred per hour; can refer to fluid ounces (volume) or avoirdupois ounces (mass) depending on context.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The volume of fluid which passes through a given surface per unit time.
