Cubic meters per minute to Pints per second conversion

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

To convert cubic meters per minute (m³/min) to pints per second (pt/s), you need to use a series of conversion factors to change the units step-by-step. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Cubic meters per minute to cubic meters per second: $1 \text{ m³/min} = \frac{1 \text{ m³}}{60 \text{ s}} = 0.0166667 \text{ m³/s}$

2. Cubic meters to liters: Since 1 cubic meter is equal to 1,000 liters, $0.0166667 \text{ m³} \times 1,000 \text{ L/m³} = 16.6667 \text{ L/s}$

3. Liters to pints: There are approximately 2.11338 pints in a liter, $16.6667 \text{ L/s} \times 2.11338 \text{ pt/L} = 35.223 \text{ pt/s}$

So, 1 cubic meter per minute is approximately 35.223 pints per second.

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

1. 5 Cubic Meters per Minute:

   Convert 5 m³/min to pt/s: $5 \text{ m³/min} = 5 \times 35.223 \text{ pt/s} = 176.115 \text{ pt/s}$

   Example: An industrial water pump used in a large-scale irrigation system might have this capacity.

2. 50 Cubic Meters per Minute:

   Convert 50 m³/min to pt/s: $50 \text{ m³/min} = 50 \times 35.223 \text{ pt/s} = 1,761.15 \text{ pt/s}$

   Example: This could be the flow rate of water in a large firefighting system or during discharge from a hydroelectric dam.

3. 0.1 Cubic Meters per Minute:

   Convert 0.1 m³/min to pt/s: $0.1 \text{ m³/min} = 0.1 \times 35.223 \text{ pt/s} = 3.5223 \text{ pt/s}$

   Example: An aquarium pump for a large fish tank might have this capacity.

Summary Conversion

So, using the conversion factor we derived:

$1 \text{ m³/min} \approx 35.223 \text{ pt/s}$

You can apply this factor to convert any value in cubic meters per minute to pints per second by multiplying by 35.223.
