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 US pints per hour
The US pint per hour (pt/h) equals 3.785411784×10⁻³/8/3600 ≈ 1.314×10⁻⁷ m³/s, used in US medical-device standards for slow-drip infusion and in American homebrew calculations for sparge water addition rates. A slow gravity sparge at 24 pt/h = 3 US gal/h is typical for small-batch homebrewing. 1 US pt/h ≈ 1.314×10⁻⁷ m³/s.
