Pints per second to Millilitres per second conversion

What is pints per second?

Pints per second (pt/s) is a unit of measurement that represents the volume flow rate of a fluid, in this case, liquid.

One pint (pt) is equivalent to approximately 568.26 milliliters (mL) or 473.176 cubic centimeters (cm³).

A flow rate of pints per second (pt/s) is essentially the amount of liquid that flows through a given point in one second. It's often used to express the volume of fluid being pumped, flowed, or leaked at a particular instant.

To put it into perspective:

• A typical faucet might have a flow rate of around 2-4 pints per minute (pt/min), which is equivalent to about 0.03-0.07 pints per second (pt/s).
• A firehose might have a flow rate of around 100-200 gpm (gallons per minute), which translates to approximately 1.67-3.33 pints per second (pt/s).

Keep in mind that the use of pints per second as a unit is more common in everyday conversation or in applications where fluid handling is not strictly regulated, like plumbing or firefighting. In scientific and technical contexts, units like liters per minute (L/min), cubic meters per second (m³/s), or gallons per hour (gph) are often preferred for their precision and clarity.

Now you know what pints per second means!

What is millilitres per second?

Milliliters per second (mL/s) is a unit of measurement that represents the volume flow rate. It is a measure of how much liquid flows through a point or an area over time.

In simpler terms, it measures the amount of fluid (such as water, juice, or any other liquid) that passes by a specific location in one second.

For example, if you have a hose that delivers 500 mL of water per minute, its flow rate can be expressed as:

• 8.33 mL/s (since 500 mL ÷ 60 seconds = 8.33 mL/s)

So, the milliliters per second is a unit to measure how fast a liquid flows through a given point or space.
