About Ounces per minute
The ounce per minute (oz/min) equals 0.028349523125/60 ≈ 4.725×10⁻⁴ kg/s, used in US beverage dispensing (draft beer taps, fountain-drink machines) and food-service portion control. A properly set draft beer faucet pours at ≈16-20 oz/min; a commercial coffee brewer delivers ≈12-16 oz/min of brew. 1 oz/min ≈ 4.725×10⁻⁴ kg/s = 1/16 lb/min.
About Slugs per second
The slug per second (slug/s) equals 14.5939029372 kg/s, derived from the Imperial system where 1 slug = 1 lb·s²/ft ≈ 14.594 kg. The slug is the coherent mass unit in the foot-pound-second system; rocket propulsion engineers using US customary units express mass flow in slug/s. A standard American rocket engine consuming 75 000 lb/s of propellant corresponds to ≈75 000/32.174 ≈ 1 830 slug/s. 1 slug/s = 14.5939029372... kg/s.
