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 US barrels per minute
The US barrel per minute (bbl/min) equals 0.158987294928/60 ≈ 2.650×10⁻³ m³/s, used in oil-pipeline pigging operations and tanker loading/unloading rates. A large crude-oil loading arm at a terminal can transfer 20 000 bbl/h = ≈333 bbl/min = ≈52 000 US gal/min. Pipeline operators monitor block-valve isolation in bbl/min to detect ruptures. 1 bbl/min ≈ 2.650×10⁻³ m³/s.
