About Converting Pint per Minutes to Cubic foot per Seconds
Pint per Minutes 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 = pint per minutes × 0.000278501157407
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 pint per minutes equals 0.00000788627455 base units, and 1 cubic foot per seconds equals 0.028316846592 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct pint per minutes-to-cubic foot per seconds factor of 0.000278501157407.
Simple example
1 pt/min × 0.0002785011574 = 0.0002785012 ft3/s
1 pint per minutes = 0.0002785012 cubic foot per seconds.
Real-world example
60 pt/min × 0.0002785011574 = 0.0167100694 ft3/s
60 pint per minutes = 0.0167100694 cubic foot per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many cubic foot per seconds are in 1 pint per minutes?
1 pint per minutes equals 0.0002785012 cubic foot per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert pint per minutes to cubic foot per seconds?
Multiply the pint per minutes value by 0.0002785011574. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cubic foot per seconds back to pint per minutes?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic foot per seconds equals 3,590.649351 pint per minutes. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a pint per minutes?
Pint per Minutes (pt/min) 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 minutes to cubic foot per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both pint per minutes and cubic foot per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.0002785011574 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.
