Pints per second to Fluid Ounces per hour conversion

How to convert pints per second to fluid ounces per hour?

To convert from pints per second to fluid ounces per hour, you need to understand the relationship between these units. Here's the step-by-step process:

Step-by-Step Conversion

1. Conversion Factors:

   • 1 pint = 16 fluid ounces
   • 1 hour = 3600 seconds

2. Calculate Fluid Ounces per Second:

   • If you have 1 pint per second, then you would convert pints to fluid ounces first. $1 \text{ pint/second} \times 16 \text{ fluid ounces/pint} = 16 \text{ fluid ounces/second}$

3. Convert Seconds to Hours:

   • Next, convert fluid ounces per second to fluid ounces per hour. $16 \text{ fluid ounces/second} \times 3600 \text{ seconds/hour} = 57600 \text{ fluid ounces/hour}$

So, 1 pint per second is equivalent to 57,600 fluid ounces per hour.

Real-World Examples

1. Industrial Fluid Flow:

   • An industrial pump might need to move a particular chemical at a rate of 0.5 pints per second. Converting this to fluid ounces per hour: $0.5 \text{ pints/second} \times 57,600 \text{ fluid ounces/hour per pint/second} = 28,800 \text{ fluid ounces/hour}$

2. Kitchen Preparation:

   • A large soup vat in an industrial kitchen might flow broth at 0.1 pints per second. Converting: $0.1 \text{ pints/second} \times 57,600 \text{ fluid ounces/hour per pint/second} = 5,760 \text{ fluid ounces/hour}$

3. Aquarium Water Flow:

   • A water filtration system for a large aquarium might operate at a rate of 0.2 pints per second. In fluid ounces per hour: $0.2 \text{ pints/second} \times 57,600 \text{ fluid ounces/hour per pint/second} = 11,520 \text{ fluid ounces/hour}$

Summary

• To convert 1 pint per second to fluid ounces per hour: $1 \text{ pint/second} = 57,600 \text{ fluid ounces/hour}$

This process of conversion can be similarly applied to any rate expressed in pints per second to get the equivalent rate in fluid ounces per hour.
