How to convert litres per minute to pints per second?

To convert from Litres per minute (L/min) to Pints per second (pts/sec), follow these steps:

Convert Litres to Pints:
- 1 Litre ≈ 2.11338 Pints.
Convert minutes to seconds:
- 1 minute = 60 seconds.

Now, let's break down the conversion for 1 Litre per minute:

1 Litre per minute × 2.11338 Pints per Litre = 2.11338 Pints per minute.

Then, convert the Pints per minute to Pints per second:

2.11338 Pints per minute ÷ 60 seconds per minute ≈ 0.035223 Pints per second.

So, 1 Litre per minute is approximately 0.035223 Pints per second.

Real-World Examples for Other Quantities of Litres per Minute

Shower Flow Rate:
- A typical showerhead flows at about 9.5 Litres per minute (L/min).
- Conversion to Pints per second: $9.5 \, \text{L/min} \times \frac{2.11338 \, \text{Pints}}{1 \, \text{L}} = 20.0771 \, \text{Pints/min}$ $\frac{20.0771 \, \text{Pints/min}}{60 \, \text{sec/min}} \approx 0.33462 \, \text{Pints/sec}$
Garden Hose Flow Rate:
- A standard garden hose might flow at around 15 Litres per minute.
- Conversion to Pints per second: $15 \, \text{L/min} \times \frac{2.11338 \, \text{Pints}}{1 \, \text{L}} = 31.7007 \, \text{Pints/min}$ $\frac{31.7007 \, \text{Pints/min}}{60 \, \text{sec/min}} \approx 0.528345 \, \text{Pints/sec}$
Kitchen Faucet Flow Rate:
- A kitchen faucet might have a flow rate of about 6 Litres per minute.
- Conversion to Pints per second: $6 \, \text{L/min} \times \frac{2.11338 \, \text{Pints}}{1 \, \text{L}} = 12.68028 \, \text{Pints/min}$ $\frac{12.68028 \, \text{Pints/min}}{60 \, \text{sec/min}} \approx 0.211338 \, \text{Pints/sec}$
Fire Hose Flow Rate:
- A fire hose may flow at around 2000 Litres per minute.
- Conversion to Pints per second: $2000 \, \text{L/min} \times \frac{2.11338 \, \text{Pints}}{1 \, \text{L}} = 4226.76 \, \text{Pints/min}$ $\frac{4226.76 \, \text{Pints/min}}{60 \, \text{sec/min}} \approx 70.446 \, \text{Pints/sec}$

These examples show how everyday flow rates from different activities or devices can be converted into another useful unit for flow rate.

See below section for step by step unit conversion with formulas and explanations. Please refer to the table below for a list of all the Pints per second to other unit conversions.

What is Liters per minute?

Liters per minute measures amount of fluid passes though a cross-sectional area. In short, it measures flow rate.

Flow rate can be calculated using following formula. Please note that $t$ is in minutes and $Q$ 's unit of measure is liters/minute

Q = \frac{V}{t} = \frac{A*d}{t}

$Q$ - Flow rate
$V$ - Volume (Liters)
$t$ - Time in minutes $A$ - Cross-sectional area
$d$ - Distance the fluid traveled during the time $t$

For more in-depth understanding of the flow rate read Flow Rate and Its Relation to Velocity from LibreTexts Physics website.

What is pints per second?

Pints per second (pt/s) is a unit of measurement that represents the volume flow rate of a fluid, in this case, liquid.

One pint (pt) is equivalent to approximately 568.26 milliliters (mL) or 473.176 cubic centimeters (cm³).

A flow rate of pints per second (pt/s) is essentially the amount of liquid that flows through a given point in one second. It's often used to express the volume of fluid being pumped, flowed, or leaked at a particular instant.

To put it into perspective:

A typical faucet might have a flow rate of around 2-4 pints per minute (pt/min), which is equivalent to about 0.03-0.07 pints per second (pt/s).
A firehose might have a flow rate of around 100-200 gpm (gallons per minute), which translates to approximately 1.67-3.33 pints per second (pt/s).

Keep in mind that the use of pints per second as a unit is more common in everyday conversation or in applications where fluid handling is not strictly regulated, like plumbing or firefighting. In scientific and technical contexts, units like liters per minute (L/min), cubic meters per second (m³/s), or gallons per hour (gph) are often preferred for their precision and clarity.

Now you know what pints per second means!
