Fluid Ounces per second to Litres per hour conversion

How to convert fluid ounces per second to litres per hour?

To convert fluid ounces per second (fl oz/s) to liters per hour (L/h), you can use the following steps:

1. Convert fluid ounces to liters:

   • There are approximately 0.0295735 liters in one fluid ounce.

2. Convert seconds to hours:

   • There are 3600 seconds in one hour (since $1 \text{ hour} = 60 \text{ minutes} \times 60 \text{ seconds}$).

To convert 1 fluid ounce per second to liters per hour, you multiply by these conversion factors:

$\text{1 fl oz/s} \times 0.0295735 \text{ L/fl oz} \times 3600 \text{ s/h} = \text{x } \text{L/h}$

Performing the calculation:

$\text{1 fl oz/s} \times 0.0295735 \text{ L/fl oz} \times 3600 \text{ s/h} \approx 106.72 \text{ L/h}$

So, 1 fluid ounce per second is approximately 106.72 liters per hour.

Real-World Examples for Other Quantities of Fluid Ounces per Second:

1. 0.5 fl oz/s:

   • $0.5 \times 0.0295735 \times 3600 \approx 53.36 \text{ L/h}$
   • Example: A small garden hose might deliver water at this rate.

2. 2 fl oz/s:

   • $2 \times 0.0295735 \times 3600 \approx 213.44 \text{ L/h}$
   • Example: A moderate flow from a kitchen faucet.

3. 5 fl oz/s:

   • $5 \times 0.0295735 \times 3600 \approx 533.60 \text{ L/h}$
   • Example: A high flow from a bathtub faucet.

4. 10 fl oz/s:

   • $10 \times 0.0295735 \times 3600 \approx 1067.20 \text{ L/h}$
   • Example: A fire hose delivering a considerable amount of water.

5. 0.1 fl oz/s:

   • $0.1 \times 0.0295735 \times 3600 \approx 10.672 \text{ L/h}$
   • Example: A slow drip from a leaky faucet can be around this flow rate.

Understanding these conversions can help visualize different flow rates in everyday situations and make it easier to calculate and compare water usage in various scenarios.
