About Converting Pints per Millisecond to Cubic foot per Seconds
Pint per Millisecond and Cubic foot per Seconds 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. Both are volumetric flow rate units.
Formula
cubic foot per seconds = pints per millisecond × 16.7100694444
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 pint per millisecond equals 0.473176473 base units, and 1 cubic foot per seconds equals 0.028316846592 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct pint per millisecond-to-cubic foot per seconds factor of 16.7100694444.
Simple example
1 pt/ms × 16.71006944 = 16.71006944 ft3/s
1 pint per millisecond = 16.71006944 cubic foot per seconds.
Real-world example
60 pt/ms × 16.71006944 = 1,002.604167 ft3/s
60 pints per millisecond = 1,002.604167 cubic foot per seconds.

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