How to Convert Gallon per second to Pint per hourPint per hour
1 gal/s = 28800 pnt/h
1 pnt/h = 0.00003472222222222222 gal/s
Example: convert 30 gal/s to pnt/h:
30 gal/s = 30 x 28800 = 864000 pnt/h
Gallon per second
Definition: A gallon per second (gal/s) is a unit of flow rate that measures the volume of fluid passing a point per unit time, specifically in gallons and seconds. It is commonly used in contexts where relatively large volumes of liquids are transferred quickly.
History/origin: The gallon is a unit of volume with historical roots in various systems of liquid measurement. The 'per second' component simply standardizes the volume measurement to a time interval. Its origin ties back to practical needs in trade and industry to quantify liquid flow.
Current use: It is used in various applications, including industrial processes, water treatment plants, and contexts where high flow rates are significant, such as in firefighting or large-scale pumping operations. It provides a clear measure of liquid flow speed.
Pint per hour
Definition: A pint per hour (pnt/h) is a unit of volumetric flow rate that measures the volume of a fluid passing through a surface per unit of time. It represents the amount of fluid volume, measured in pints, that flows every hour.
History/origin: The 'pint' is a unit of volume in both the imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. Its historical origins can be traced back to traditional systems of liquid measurement. The 'per hour' component indicates a rate of change over time.
Current use: Pints per hour is used to quantify slow fluid flow rates, making it suitable for applications like drip irrigation systems, certain chemical processes, or slow dispensing mechanisms.
