About UK fluid ounces per minute
The UK fluid ounce per minute (fl oz/min) equals 4.54609×10⁻³/160/60 ≈ 4.735×10⁻⁷ m³/s. It is found in pre-metric British plumbing and brewing specifications, where tap-flow and pump-delivery rates were stated in imperial fluid ounces per minute. A UK laboratory peristaltic pump calibrated to 30 fl oz/min delivers ≈14.2 mL/s. 1 UK fl oz/min ≈ 4.735×10⁻⁷ m³/s.
About Litres per second
The litre per second (L/s) equals 10⁻³ m³/s, the standard unit for municipal water-supply engineering, fire-fighting flows, and HVAC system air handling. A fire hydrant delivers 15-30 L/s; a household mains water connection is typically 0.1-0.5 L/s; a large building HVAC chilled-water loop circulates 50-200 L/s. 1 L/s = 10⁻³ m³/s = 3.6 m³/h ≈ 15.85 US gal/min.
