Fluid Ounces per second to Cubic inches per minute conversion

How to convert fluid ounces per second to cubic inches per minute?

To convert fluid ounces per second (fl oz/s) to cubic inches per minute (in³/min), you'll need to use conversion factors for both time and volume:

1. Time Conversion:

   • 1 second = 60 seconds per minute (s/min)

2. Volume Conversion:

   • 1 fluid ounce (US) = 1.80469 cubic inches (in³)

So, to convert 1 fluid ounce per second to cubic inches per minute:

$\text{1 fl oz/s} = 1 \text{ fl oz} \times 1.80469 \text{ in³/fl oz} \times 60 \text{ s/min}$

$\text{1 fl oz/s} = 1 \times 1.80469 \times 60 \text{ in³/min}$

$\text{1 fl oz/s} = 108.2814 \text{ in³/min}$

So, 1 fluid ounce per second is equivalent to 108.2814 cubic inches per minute.
