How to Convert Quart per second to Cup per secondCup per second
1 qt/s = 4 cup/s
1 cup/s = 0.25 qt/s
Example: convert 12 qt/s to cup/s:
12 qt/s = 12 x 4 = 48 cup/s
Quart per second
Definition: A quart per second (qt/s) 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 quarts, that flows every second.
History/origin: The 'quart' 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 second' component indicates a rate of change over time.
Current use: Quarts per second is indicative of a high fluid flow rate, typically seen in high-volume pumping, rapid dispensing systems, and industrial fluid transfer applications.
Cup per second
Definition: A cup per second (cup/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate that measures the volume of a substance passing through a surface per unit of time. It represents the amount of volume, measured in cups, that flows every second.
History/origin: The 'cup' is a unit of volume primarily used in cooking and is part of the United States customary system of measurement. The 'per second' component indicates a rate of change over time. The precise origin can be linked to the standardization of kitchen measurements.
Current use: Cups per second is rarely used in formal scientific or engineering contexts due to the relatively large and imprecise nature of the 'cup' unit. It might be encountered in high-volume dispensing or filling operations where speed is critical.
