How to Convert Gallon per second to Pint per minutePint per minute
1 gal/s = 480 pnt/min
1 pnt/min = 0.0020833333333333333 gal/s
Example: convert 39 gal/s to pnt/min:
39 gal/s = 39 x 480 = 18720 pnt/min
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 minute
Definition: A pint per minute (pnt/min) 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 minute.
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 minute' component indicates a rate of change over time.
Current use: Pints per minute is commonly used to measure moderately-paced fluid flow in various contexts, such as beverage dispensing, industrial processes, and fluid handling systems.
