Pints per hour to Litres per second conversion

How to convert pints per hour to litres per second?

To convert pints per hour to liters per second, you'll need to go through a few steps involving unit conversions. Let's break it down:

1. Convert Pints to Liters:

   • 1 US pint is approximately equal to 0.473176 liters.
   • Therefore, 1 pints/hour = 0.473176 liters/hour.

2. Convert Hours to Seconds:

   • There are 3600 seconds in 1 hour.

3. Combine the Units for Volume Flow Rate:

   • To convert liters/hour to liters/second, you divide the flow rate in liters per hour by the number of seconds in an hour.

So, the calculation for converting 1 pint per hour (pints/hr) to liters per second (L/s) is:

$1 \text{ pint/hour} = 0.473176 \text{ liters/hour}$ $\frac{0.473176 \text{ liters/hour}}{3600 \text{ seconds/hour}} \approx 0.0001319934 \text{ liters/second}$

Therefore, 1 pint per hour is approximately equal to $0.0001319934$ liters per second.

Real-World Examples

Example 1: Drinking Rate

• If a person drinks at a rate of 10 pints per hour during a party, the conversion would be: $10 \text{ pints/hour} = 10 \times 0.0001319934 \approx 0.001319934 \text{ liters/second}$

Example 2: Industrial Flow

• An industrial process might require 50 pints per hour of a certain liquid. The conversion would be: $50 \text{ pints/hour} = 50 \times 0.0001319934 \approx 0.00659967 \text{ liters/second}$

Example 3: Small Stream Flow

• A small stream might have a flow rate of 200 pints per hour. The conversion would be: $200 \text{ pints/hour} = 200 \times 0.0001319934 \approx 0.02639868 \text{ liters/second}$

Example 4: Aquarium Filter

• An aquarium filter rated at 5 pints per hour: $5 \text{ pints/hour} = 5 \times 0.0001319934 \approx 0.000659967 \text{ liters/second}$

These conversions exemplify how you can interpret flow rates in various real-world contexts.
