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 second
The US pint per second (pt/s) equals 3.785411784×10⁻³/8 ≈ 4.732×10⁻⁴ m³/s, used in US food-filling equipment rated in pints-per-second throughput. High-speed dairy-packaging lines filling 16 oz (1 pt) cartons can achieve 10-20 pt/s per lane. 1 US pt/s ≈ 4.732×10⁻⁴ m³/s = 0.4732 L/s = 7.5 US gal/min.
