About UK gallons per minute
The UK (imperial) gallon per minute (gpm) equals 4.54609×10⁻³/60 ≈ 7.577×10⁻⁵ m³/s, historically used in British plumbing design, pump curves, and water-treatment plant sizing. Pre-metric UK water-industry capacity tables and pump manufacturers quoted flows in UK gal/min; legacy British Standard BS EN pump curves often show both units. 1 UK gpm ≈ 7.577×10⁻⁵ m³/s ≈ 4.546 L/min.
About US pints per second
The US pint per second (pt/s) equals 3.785411784×10⁻³/8 ≈ 4.732×10⁻⁴ m³/s, used in US food-filling equipment rated in pints-per-second throughput. High-speed dairy-packaging lines filling 16 oz (1 pt) cartons can achieve 10-20 pt/s per lane. 1 US pt/s ≈ 4.732×10⁻⁴ m³/s = 0.4732 L/s = 7.5 US gal/min.
