Cubic inches per second to Decilitres per second conversion

How to convert cubic inches per second to decilitres per second?

Certainly! To convert cubic inches per second (in³/s) to decilitres per second (dL/s), we need to use the appropriate conversion factors between these two units of volume.

1 cubic inch is equal to 0.016387064 liters. And, since 1 liter is equal to 10 decilitres (dL),

1 cubic inch = 0.016387064 liters = 0.16387064 deciliters.

So, to convert from cubic inches per second (in³/s) to deciliters per second (dL/s), we multiply by this conversion factor:

$1 \text{ in}³/\text{s} \times 0.16387064 = 0.16387064 \text{ dL/s}$

Thus, 1 cubic inch per second is equal to approximately 0.16387064 decilitres per second.

Real-world Examples

Example 1: Garden Hose

A typical garden hose might have a flow rate of around 5 gallons per minute. Since 1 gallon is approximately 231 cubic inches:

$5 \text{ gallons/minute} \times 231 \text{ in}³/\text{gallon} = 1155 \text{ in}³/\text{minute}$

To convert this to seconds: $\frac{1155 \text{ in}³}{60 \text{ seconds}} = 19.25 \text{ in}³/\text{s}$

Then converting to decilitres per second: $19.25 \text{ in}³/\text{s} \times 0.16387064 = 3.1544 \text{ dL/s}$

Example 2: Small Pump

A small aquarium pump might have a flow rate of around 50 cubic inches per minute.

Convert to cubic inches per second: $\frac{50 \text{ in}³}{60 \text{ seconds}} \approx 0.833 \text{ in}³/\text{s}$

Convert to decilitres per second: $0.833 \text{ in}³/\text{s} \times 0.16387064 \approx 0.136 \text{ dL/s}$

Example 3: Industrial Water Flow

An industrial pump might have a flow rate of 2000 cubic inches per second.

Convert to decilitres per second: $2000 \text{ in}³/\text{s} \times 0.16387064 = 327.7413 \text{ dL/s}$

By understanding these conversions and real-world examples, you can get a sense of how different flow rates in cubic inches per second translate to decilitres per second.
