About Acre-feet per minute
The acre-foot per minute (ac-ft/min) equals 1233.48183754752/60 ≈ 20.558 m³/s, encountered in large irrigation canal capacity descriptions and reservoir emergency spillway sizing in the US West. A major canal gate releasing 1 ac-ft/min drains a 1-acre field 1 foot deep every minute - a substantial agricultural flow. 1 ac-ft/min ≈ 20.558 m³/s ≈ 726.0 ft³/s.
About UK pints per second
The UK (imperial) pint per second (pt/s) equals 4.54609×10⁻³/8 ≈ 5.683×10⁻⁴ m³/s. The UK pint (20 fl oz) is 20% larger than the US pint. It is used in British brewery and beverage-filling lines - a canning line filling 0.568 L (1 pt) cans at 10 cans/s processes exactly 10 UK pt/s. 1 UK pt/s ≈ 5.683×10⁻⁴ m³/s ≈ 1.201 US pt/s.
