About Cubic feet per second
The cubic foot per second (ft³/s or cfs) equals 0.028316846592 m³/s, the primary unit for measuring river discharge and open-channel flow in the United States. The US Geological Survey publishes all streamflow data in cfs; irrigation water rights, flood-control gates, and dam spillway capacities are specified in cfs. The Colorado River at full natural flow is ≈22 000 cfs. 1 cfs = 0.028316846592 m³/s ≈ 28.317 L/s ≈ 448.8 US gpm.
About US pints per minute
The US pint per minute (pt/min) equals 3.785411784×10⁻³/8/60 ≈ 7.886×10⁻⁶ m³/s, a unit encountered in US home-brewing, small-batch winery transfers, and consumer-grade pump ratings. A standard kitchen faucet running at 2 US gal/min produces 16 pt/min; a small submersible pond pump rated 50 gal/h delivers ≈27 pt/min. 1 US pt/min ≈ 7.886×10⁻⁶ m³/s.
