Fluid Ounces per hour to Cubic inches per hour conversion

How to convert fluid ounces per hour to cubic inches per hour?

To convert fluid ounces per hour (fl oz/h) to cubic inches per hour (in³/h), you need to know the conversion factor between fluid ounces and cubic inches.

1 US fluid ounce is equivalent to approximately 1.80469 cubic inches.

Here's the conversion process for 1 fluid ounce per hour:

1. Identify the conversion factor from fluid ounces to cubic inches:
   $1 \text{ fl oz} = 1.80469 \text{ in}^3$

2. Multiply the flow rate in fluid ounces per hour by this conversion factor to get the flow rate in cubic inches per hour: $1 \text{ fl oz/h} \times 1.80469 \text{ in}^3/\text{fl oz} = 1.80469 \text{ in}^3/\text{h}$

So, 1 fluid ounce per hour is equivalent to 1.80469 cubic inches per hour.

Real-World Examples:

1. 10 Fluid Ounces per Hour: $10 \text{ fl oz/h} \times 1.80469 \text{ in}^3/\text{fl oz} = 18.0469 \text{ in}^3/\text{h}$

2. 50 Fluid Ounces per Hour: $50 \text{ fl oz/h} \times 1.80469 \text{ in}^3/\text{fl oz} = 90.2345 \text{ in}^3/\text{h}$

3. 100 Fluid Ounces per Hour: $100 \text{ fl oz/h} \times 1.80469 \text{ in}^3/\text{fl oz} = 180.469 \text{ in}^3/\text{h}$

Real-World Context:

• Drip Irrigation: If a small drip irrigation system provides water at a rate of 10 fluid ounces per hour, it could be useful to know that this is equivalent to 18.0469 cubic inches per hour for designing the system.

• Medical Infusions: An IV drip might be set to a flow rate, and knowing the volume in cubic inches can help medical professionals ensure precise dosages.

• Aquarium Filters: Aquarium filters may have specific water flow rates, and converting fluid ounces per hour to cubic inches per hour can help in selecting the right filter size.

Understanding these conversions ensures more precise measurements and better planning across various applications.
