About Converting Cubic foot per Seconds to Imperial pint per Minutes
Cubic foot per Seconds and Imperial pint per Minutes both measure volumetric flow rate — how much volume passes a point over time — used to size pipes and pumps, monitor river or stream discharge, control industrial processes, and set medical infusion rates. Cubic foot per Seconds is most often used for the standard unit used by the us geological survey for reporting river and stream discharge at gauging stations.
Formula
imperial pint per minutes = cubic foot per seconds × 2989.84102034
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 cubic foot per seconds equals 0.028316846592 base units, and 1 imperial pint per minutes equals 0.00000947102083333 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic foot per seconds-to-imperial pint per minutes factor of 2989.84102034.
Simple example
1 ft3/s × 2989.84102 = 2,989.84102 imp pt/min
1 cubic foot per seconds = 2,989.84102 imperial pint per minutes.
Real-world example
60 ft3/s × 2989.84102 = 179,390.4612 imp pt/min
60 cubic foot per seconds = 179,390.4612 imperial pint per minutes.

What is a cubic foot per seconds?
Cubic foot per Seconds (ft3/s) measures volumetric flow rate. One cubic foot of volume passing a point every second. It is classified as a US customary flow-rate unit.
What is a imperial pint per minutes?
Imperial pint per Minutes (imp pt/min) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the cubic foot per seconds to imperial pint per minutes conversion exact?

Where is the cubic foot per seconds still used today?
United States
What's the difference between volumetric and mass flow rate?
Volumetric flow rate measures the volume of fluid passing a point per unit time (for example, liters per second). Mass flow rate measures the mass instead. For a fluid of constant density the two are directly proportional, but for compressible fluids like gases, mass flow is often the more meaningful quantity.
