To convert fluid ounces per minute (fl oz/min) to liters per second (L/s), we need to know the conversion factors between these units.
1 US fluid ounce = 0.0295735 liters 1 minute = 60 seconds
Now, by combining these relationships, we can derive the conversion factor:
1 fluid ounce per minute (fl oz/min) = 0.0295735 liters / 60 seconds ≈ 0.000492891 liters per second (L/s)
So, 1 fl oz/min ≈ 0.000492891 L/s.
Example: Kitchen Faucet Flow Rate
A typical kitchen faucet has a flow rate of about 2.2 gallons per minute (GPM). Let's convert this to fluid ounces per minute and then to liters per second.
1 gallon = 128 fluid ounces 2.2 GPM = 2.2 * 128 = 281.6 fl oz/min
Now, convert 281.6 fl oz/min to liters per second:
281.6 fl oz/min * 0.000492891 L/s ≈ 0.1387 L/s
So, the typical kitchen faucet flow rate is about 0.1387 liters per second.
Example: IV Drip Rate in Medical Settings
An IV drip can be set to deliver fluids at a rate of 50 milliliters per hour (mL/hr). Let's convert this to fluid ounces per minute and then to liters per second.
1 milliliter = 0.033814 fluid ounces 50 mL/hr = 50 * 0.033814 fl oz ≈ 1.6907 fl oz/hr
To convert per minute: 1.6907 fl oz/hr / 60 ≈ 0.0281785 fl oz/min
Now, convert this to liters per second: 0.0281785 fl oz/min * 0.000492891 L/s ≈ 0.0000139 L/s
So, an IV drip rate of 50 mL/hr is approximately 0.0000139 liters per second (L/s).
These calculations show how different flow rates can be understood in various units, making it easier to compare and understand in different contexts.
See below section for step by step unit conversion with formulas and explanations. Please refer to the table below for a list of all the Litres per second to other unit conversions.
Fluid ounces per minute (fl oz/min) is a unit of measurement that represents the volume of a liquid flowing or being dispensed over time. In other words, it's a measure of how many fluid ounces are contained in one minute.
For example, if you have a bottle that flows 16 fl oz of juice every 2 minutes, its flow rate would be 8 fl oz/min (since 16 ÷ 2 = 8).
Fluid ounces per minute is commonly used to express the flow rates of various liquids, such as:
To give you a better idea, here are some everyday examples of fluid ounces per minute:
Now, keep in mind that fluid ounces per minute is just one of many units used to measure flow rates. Other common units include cubic centimeters per minute (cm³/min), liters per minute (L/min), and gallons per hour (gal/h).
Liters per second measures amount of fluid passes though a cross-sectional area. In short, it measures flow rate.
Flow rate can be calculated using following formula:
- Flow rate
- Volume (Liters)
- Time in seconds
- Cross-sectional area
- Distance the fluid traveled during the time
For more in-depth understanding of the flow rate read Flow Rate and Its Relation to Velocity from LibreTexts Physics website.
