Fluid Ounces per second to Litres per second conversion

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

To convert fluid ounces per second (fl oz/s) to liters per second (L/s), you'll need to know the conversion factor between fluid ounces and liters.

1 US fluid ounce is approximately equal to 0.0295735 liters.

So, to convert fluid ounces per second to liters per second, you multiply the number of fluid ounces per second by 0.0295735.

Here’s the calculation for 1 fluid ounce per second:

$1 \text{ fluid ounce/second} \times 0.0295735 \text{ liters/fluid ounce} = 0.0295735 \text{ liters/second}$

So, 1 fluid ounce per second (fl oz/s) is approximately 0.0295735 liters per second (L/s).

Real World Examples

1. Beverage Dispenser at a Restaurant: If a soda dispenser pours out 2 fluid ounces per second, you can calculate the flow rate in liters per second as follows:

   $2 \text{ fl oz/s} \times 0.0295735 \text{ L/fl oz} = 0.059147 \text{ L/s}$

   This means the dispenser would be pouring soda at a rate of approximately 0.059147 liters per second.

2. Garden Hose: Suppose a garden hose releases water at a rate of 15 fluid ounces per second. You can convert this to liters per second:

   $15 \text{ fl oz/s} \times 0.0295735 \text{ L/fl oz} = 0.4436025 \text{ L/s}$

   So, the garden hose delivers water at approximately 0.4436 liters per second.

3. Medical IV Drip: An IV drip in a hospital might release medication at a slower rate, for example, 0.5 fluid ounces per second. The conversion would be:

   $0.5 \text{ fl oz/s} \times 0.0295735 \text{ L/fl oz} = 0.01478675 \text{ L/s}$

   Thus, the IV drip would administer fluid at a rate of approximately 0.0148 liters per second.

By knowing the conversion factor, you can easily convert any flow rate from fluid ounces per second to liters per second.
