About Converting Pint per Seconds to Cubic foot per Seconds
Pint per Seconds 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 seconds × 0.0167100694444
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 pint per seconds equals 0.000473176473 base units, and 1 cubic foot per seconds equals 0.028316846592 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct pint per seconds-to-cubic foot per seconds factor of 0.0167100694444.
Simple example
1 pt/s × 0.01671006944 = 0.0167100694 ft3/s
1 pint per seconds = 0.0167100694 cubic foot per seconds.
Real-world example
60 pt/s × 0.01671006944 = 1.002604167 ft3/s
60 pint per seconds = 1.002604167 cubic foot per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many cubic foot per seconds are in 1 pint per seconds?
1 pint per seconds equals 0.0167100694 cubic foot per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert pint per seconds to cubic foot per seconds?
Multiply the pint per seconds value by 0.01671006944. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cubic foot per seconds back to pint per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic foot per seconds equals 59.84415584 pint per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a pint per seconds?
Pint per Seconds (pt/s) 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 seconds to cubic foot per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both pint per seconds and cubic foot per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.01671006944 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.
