About Converting Cubic foot per Seconds to Pints per Millisecond
Cubic foot per Seconds and Pint per Millisecond 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
pints per millisecond = cubic foot per seconds × 0.0598441558442
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 pint per millisecond equals 0.473176473 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic foot per seconds-to-pint per millisecond factor of 0.0598441558442.
Simple example
1 ft3/s × 0.05984415584 = 0.0598441558 pt/ms
1 cubic foot per seconds = 0.0598441558 pints per millisecond.
Real-world example
60 ft3/s × 0.05984415584 = 3.590649351 pt/ms
60 cubic foot per seconds = 3.590649351 pints per millisecond.

Frequently asked questions
How many pints per millisecond are in 1 cubic foot per seconds?
1 cubic foot per seconds equals 0.0598441558 pints per millisecond, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert cubic foot per seconds to pint per millisecond?
Multiply the cubic foot per seconds value by 0.05984415584. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert pint per millisecond back to cubic foot per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 pint per millisecond equals 16.71006944 cubic foot per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
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 pint per millisecond?
Pint per Millisecond (pt/ms) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the cubic foot per seconds to pint per millisecond conversion exact?
Yes. Both cubic foot per seconds and pint per millisecond are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.05984415584 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
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.
