Pints per second to Litres per minute conversion

How to convert pints per second to litres per minute?

To convert from pints per second (pints/s) to liters per minute (L/min), follow these steps:

1. Understand the conversion factors:

   • 1 pint (US) = 0.473176 liter
   • 1 minute = 60 seconds

2. Perform the conversion:

   • To convert 1 pint/s to liters per second (L/s): $1 \text{ pint/s} \times 0.473176 \text{ liters/pint} = 0.473176 \text{ L/s}$

   • Then, convert to liters per minute (L/min): $0.473176 \text{ L/s} \times 60 \text{ seconds/min} = 28.39056 \text{ L/min}$

Therefore, 1 pint per second is equivalent to approximately 28.39 liters per minute.

Real World Examples for Other Quantities

• 0.5 pints per second: $0.5 \text{ pint/s} \times 0.473176 \text{ L/pint} = 0.236588 \text{ L/s}$ $0.236588 \text{ L/s} \times 60 \text{ s/min} = 14.19528 \text{ L/min}$ This would be similar to the flow rate of a moderate garden hose.

• 2 pints per second: $2 \text{ pint/s} \times 0.473176 \text{ L/pint} = 0.946352 \text{ L/s}$ $0.946352 \text{ L/s} \times 60 \text{ s/min} = 56.78112 \text{ L/min}$ This could be similar to water flowing from a firehose.

• 5 pints per second: $5 \text{ pint/s} \times 0.473176 \text{ L/pint} = 2.36588 \text{ L/s}$ $2.36588 \text{ L/s} \times 60 \text{ s/min} = 141.9528 \text{ L/min}$ Such a flow rate might be used in industrial applications for filling large containers rapidly.

These conversions can help visualize different flow rates in more familiar units based on liters per minute, which are commonly used in various applications such as plumbing, engineering, and environmental studies.
