About UK fluid ounces per second
The UK (imperial) fluid ounce per second (fl oz/s) equals 4.54609×10⁻³/160 ≈ 2.841×10⁻⁵ m³/s, slightly larger than its US counterpart. It appears in pre-metric British food-manufacturing and brewing standards. A traditional UK draught-beer tap dispenses 1 pint (20 fl oz) in about 2 seconds, equating to ≈10 UK fl oz/s. 1 UK fl oz/s ≈ 2.841×10⁻⁵ m³/s ≈ 0.9608 US fl oz/s.
About US barrels per second
The US barrel per second (bbl/s) equals 0.158987294928 m³/s, an extremely large flow rate used only for catastrophic spill-rate estimates and very large pipeline surge calculations. The 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill peaked at ≈60 000 bbl/d ≈ 0.000694 bbl/s; major subsea pipeline ruptures may briefly exceed 1 bbl/s during decompression. 1 US bbl/s = 0.158987 m³/s ≈ 158.987 L/s.
