Quarts per second to Cubic meters per second conversion

What is quarts per second?

A unit of measurement!

Quarts per second (q/s) is a unit of flow rate, which measures the volume of fluid (such as water or liquid) that passes through a given area in one second.

In the United States customary system (USCS), there are 57.75 cubic inches (in³) in a quart. So, to calculate quarts per second, we can use the following conversion:

1 quart = 57.75 cubic inches 1 second = 1 second

Therefore,

1 quart per second = 57.75 cubic inches per second

Quarts per second is often used as a unit of measurement for fluids in applications such as:

• Water treatment and filtration systems
• Chemical processing and manufacturing
• Laboratory experiments and research
• Hydraulics and pneumatics (the study of fluid mechanics)

It's worth noting that quarts per second is not a commonly used unit in the International System of Units (SI), which prefers units like cubic meters per second (m³/s) or liters per minute (L/min). However, it may still be encountered in certain contexts where USCS units are preferred.

What is Cubic meeters per second?

Cubic meeters per second measures amount of fluid passes though a cross-sectional area. In short, it measures flow rate.

Flow rate can be calculated using following formula:

$$Q = \frac{V}{t} = \frac{A*d}{t}$$

$Q$ - Flow rate
$V$ - Volume (Cubic meters)
$t$ - Time in seconds $A$ - Cross-sectional area
$d$ - Distance the fluid traveled during the time $t$
