Pints per second to Cubic feet per second conversion

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

To convert from pints per second to cubic feet per second, you need to know the relationships between these two units of volume.

1 pint (US liquid) is equivalent to 0.125 gallons (US liquid), and 1 gallon (US liquid) is equivalent to 0.133680556 cubic feet. Therefore, 1 pint is:

$1 \text{ pint (US)} = 0.125 \text{ gallons (US)} \times 0.133680556 \text{ cubic feet per gallon (US)}$ $1 \text{ pint (US)} = 0.0167100695 \text{ cubic feet}$

To convert pints per second to cubic feet per second, you then multiply by this conversion factor.

So, converting 1 pint per second to cubic feet per second:

$1 \text{ pint per second} = 1 \times 0.0167100695 \text{ cubic feet per second}$ $1 \text{ pint per second} = 0.0167100695 \text{ cubic feet per second}$

Real-world examples of different quantities of pints per second:

1. Kitchen Faucet:

   • A typical kitchen faucet flows at around 1.5 to 2 gallons per minute. This translates to about: $1.5 \text{ gallons/minute} = 192 \text{ pints/hour} = \frac{192 \text{ pints/hour}}{3600 \text{ seconds/hour}} = 0.0533 \text{ pints/second}$
   • Slower flow rates, around 0.05 to 0.07 pints/second, can be observed in slower water flows like a gentle faucet drip.

2. Garden Hose:

   • A standard garden hose delivers around 9 gallons per minute. That’s: $9 \text{ gallons/minute} = 1152 \text{ pints/hour} = \frac{1152 \text{ pints/hour}}{3600 \text{ seconds/hour}} = 0.32 \text{ pints/second}$

3. Fire Hose:

   • A fire hose can expel around 200 to 500 gallons per minute. This calculates to: $200 \text{ gallons/minute} = 25600 \text{ pints/hour} = \frac{25600 \text{ pints/hour}}{3600 \text{ seconds/hour}} = 7.11 \text{ pints/second}$
   • translating the upper end: $500 \text{ gallons/minute} = 64000 \text{ pints/hour} = \frac{64000 \text{ pints/hour}}{3600 \text{ seconds/hour}} = 17.78 \text{ pints/second}$

4. Beverage Dispenser:

   • In a bar, a beer tap might dispense at a rate of about 1 pint every 15 seconds: $\text{rate} = \frac{1 \text{ pint}}{15 \text{ seconds}} \approx 0.067 \text{ pints/second}$

Keep in mind that these examples provide a general sense of flow rates in different contexts and can help visualize the quantities involved.
