Hii

What is the unit "pt/min" ?
and how can I convert it to Liters/sec or kg/s or any other unit?
I see it in some documents, but I can't find its conversion by searching in google.

Thank you

RE: What is the unit "pt/min" ?

Please use the unit in some context.  I have not seen this.  It could be pint per minute.  If scanning inputs, it could be point per minute.  In a really wild guess it could also be some abreviation like platinum minimum.

It's the flowrate required of an oil circulation system for lubrication

RE: What is the unit "pt/min" ?

Is it pint per minute?

1 pint = 0.125 gallon

RE: What is the unit "pt/min" ?

Since you don't seem to be very conversant with this sort of stuff, a U.S. pint is 0.473176 L or 0.000473176 m^3, etc.  

You'll have to use the oil density to get it to mass.  

Oh yeah, divide the required amount by 60 to get it into seconds.
