Pints per second to Cubic Centimeters per second conversion

How to convert pints per second to cubic centimeters per second?

To convert pints per second to cubic centimeters per second, you need to know the conversion factor between pints and cubic centimeters.

1 US pint = 473.176 cubic centimeters (cc).

Given that: 1 pint/second = 473.176 cc/second

So, to convert 1 pint per second to cubic centimeters per second:

$1 \text{ pint/second} \times 473.176 \text{ cc/pint} = 473.176 \text{ cc/second}$

Hence, 1 pint per second is equal to 473.176 cubic centimeters per second.

Real World Examples

0.5 Pints per Second

For a slower flow rate, for example, 0.5 pints per second:

$0.5 \text{ pint/second} \times 473.176 \text{ cc/pint} = 236.588 \text{ cc/second}$

2 Pints per Second

For a faster flow rate, such as 2 pints per second:

$2 \text{ pints/second} \times 473.176 \text{ cc/pint} = 946.352 \text{ cc/second}$

Application in Real World:

• Medical Infusion Pumps:

  • Flow rates are usually much smaller, in the range of milliliters per hour, but for context, an infusion pump delivering medications at 1 pint per second (though very unrealistic medically) would equate to a very rapid 473.176 cc per second.

• Hydraulic Systems:

  • In a larger industrial system, for example, a hydraulic fluid flow rate of 1 pint per second could be converted to 473.176 cc per second, giving engineers an idea of the volumetric fluid transfer rate needed.

• Water Fountains:

  • If a water fountain is designed to push out water at a rate of 2 pints per second, it means it is ejecting water at 946.352 cubic centimeters per second.

• Home Brewing:

  • During the brewing process, if a valve allows 0.5 pints per second to pass through, this is equivalent to 236.588 cubic centimeters per second pour rate.

Using these examples, you can see how understanding flow rates in different units is crucial across various industries and applications.
