Litres per second to Fluid Ounces per minute conversion

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

To convert from Litres per second (L/s) to Fluid Ounces per minute (fl oz/min), you need to follow these steps:

1. Convert Litres to Fluid Ounces:

   • 1 Litre is equivalent to approximately 33.814 Fluid Ounces.

2. Convert Seconds to Minutes:

   • 1 second is $\frac{1}{60}$ of a minute, so if you have a flow rate in Litres per second, you can multiply by 60 to get Litres per minute.

Here's the detailed conversion:

1 Litre/second (L/s) = 1 Litre * 33.814 Fluid Ounces/Litre * 60 seconds/minute = 33.814 * 60 = 2,028.84 Fluid Ounces/minute (fl oz/min)

So, 1 Litre per second is approximately 2,028.84 Fluid Ounces per minute.

Real World Examples of Various Litres per Second Flow Rates

1. Kitchen Faucet:

   • Average flow rate: About 0.1 to 0.2 L/s
   • In Fluid Ounces per minute:
     • For 0.1 L/s: 0.1 * 2,028.84 ≈ 202.88 fl oz/min
     • For 0.2 L/s: 0.2 * 2,028.84 ≈ 405.77 fl oz/min

2. Garden Hose:

   • Typical flow rate: Around 0.3 L/s
   • In Fluid Ounces per minute: 0.3 * 2,028.84 ≈ 608.65 fl oz/min

3. Shower Head:

   • Average flow rate: About 0.2 to 0.3 L/s
   • In Fluid Ounces per minute:
     • For 0.2 L/s: 0.2 * 2,028.84 ≈ 405.77 fl oz/min
     • For 0.3 L/s: 0.3 * 2,028.84 ≈ 608.65 fl oz/min

4. Fire Hose:

   • Typical flow rate: About 10 L/s
   • In Fluid Ounces per minute: 10 * 2,028.84 ≈ 20,288.4 fl oz/min

5. Industrial Pump:

   • Could have very high flow rates, say 100 L/s
   • In Fluid Ounces per minute: 100 * 2,028.84 ≈ 202,884 fl oz/min

By converting different flow rates from Litres per second to Fluid Ounces per minute, you can better understand these flow rates in everyday contexts, making it easier to relate to their practical implications.
