Cubic meters per hour to Pints per second conversion

How to convert cubic meters per hour to pints per second?

To convert cubic meters per hour (m³/h) to pints per second (pt/s), you need to follow these steps:

1. Convert cubic meters to pints:

   • There are approximately 2113.38 pints in a cubic meter.

2. Convert hours to seconds:

   • There are 3600 seconds in an hour.

Now, let's go through the conversion:

Step-by-Step Conversion

1. Convert 1 cubic meter to pints: $1 \, \text{m}^3 = 2113.38 \, \text{pints}$

2. Convert hours to seconds: $1 \, \text{hour} = 3600 \, \text{seconds}$

So, if we start with 1 cubic meter per hour:

$\text{Volume Flow Rate} = \frac{2113.38 \, \text{pints}}{3600 \, \text{seconds}}$

Therefore:

$\text{Volume Flow Rate} = 0.586 \, \text{pints/second}$

Real-World Examples for Other Quantities of Cubic Meters per Hour

1. Household Water Usage:

   • A typical shower uses about 9 liters per minute. Converting 9 liters/minute to cubic meters per hour: $\text{Flow Rate} = 9 \, \frac{\text{liters}}{\text{minute}} \times 60 \frac{\text{minutes}}{\text{hour}} \times \frac{1 \, \text{m}^3}{1000 \, \text{liters}} = 0.54 \, \text{m}^3/\text{h}$

   • Convert 0.54 m³/h to pints per second: $0.54 \, \text{m}^3/\text{h} \times \frac{2113.38 \, \text{pints}}{3600 \, \text{seconds}} = 0.317 \, \text{pints/second}$

2. Industrial Water Pump:

   • An industrial water pump might have a capacity of 100 cubic meters per hour. Convert this to pints per second: $100 \, \text{m}^3/\text{h} \times \frac{2113.38 \, \text{pints}}{3600 \, \text{seconds}} = 58.71 \, \text{pints/second}$

3. Fire Hydrant:

   • A typical fire hydrant discharges about 1500 liters per minute. Convert this to cubic meters per hour: $\text{Flow Rate} = 1500 \, \frac{\text{liters}}{\text{minute}} \times 60 \frac{\text{minutes}}{\text{hour}} \times \frac{1 \, \text{m}^3}{1000 \, \text{liters}} = 90 \, \text{m}^3/\text{h}$

   • Convert 90 m³/h to pints per second: $90 \, \text{m}^3/\text{h} \times \frac{2113.38 \, \text{pints}}{3600 \, \text{seconds}} = 52.84 \, \text{pints/second}$

By understanding these conversions, you can better gauge the magnitude of various volume flow rates in more familiar units such as pints per second.
