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 gallons per second
The US gallon per second (gal/s) equals 3.785411784×10⁻³ m³/s, used for very large pump discharge rates and fire-suppression deluge systems. A large centrifugal fire pump rated 1 500 US gal/min delivers exactly 25 US gal/s; industrial cooling-tower makeup lines are sized in gal/s at peak demand. 1 US gal/s = 3.785411784×10⁻³ m³/s = 60 US gal/min ≈ 227.1 L/min.
