About Litres per hour
The litre per hour (L/h) equals 10⁻³/3600 ≈ 2.778×10⁻⁷ m³/s, widely used in automotive fuel consumption (L/h), irrigation drip systems, and small pump specifications. A fuel cell vehicle running on hydrogen consumes ±2 L/h of liquid equivalent; a domestic water softener regeneration cycle uses 40-100 L/h of brine. 1 L/h ≈ 2.778×10⁻⁷ m³/s ≈ 0.2642 US gal/h.
About UK gallons per second
The UK (imperial) gallon per second (gal/s) equals 4.54609×10⁻³ m³/s, about 20% larger than the US gallon per second. It appears in pre-metric British fire-fighting standards, large pump test certificates, and naval engineering calculations. A UK fire engine pump rated 1 000 UK gal/min delivers ≈16.67 UK gal/s. 1 UK gal/s = 4.54609×10⁻³ m³/s ≈ 1.201 US gal/s.
