About UK gallons per second
The UK (imperial) gallon per second (gal/s) equals 4.54609×10⁻³ m³/s, about 20% larger than the US gallon per second. It appears in pre-metric British fire-fighting standards, large pump test certificates, and naval engineering calculations. A UK fire engine pump rated 1 000 UK gal/min delivers ≈16.67 UK gal/s. 1 UK gal/s = 4.54609×10⁻³ m³/s ≈ 1.201 US gal/s.
About Cubic inches per minute
The cubic inch per minute (in³/min) equals 1.6387064×10⁻⁵/60 ≈ 2.731×10⁻⁷ m³/s, common in US pneumatic and hydraulic circuit design. Air-tool consumption is rated in SCIM (standard cubic inches per minute); small hydraulic cylinders advancing at 10 in/min with 1 in² bore consume 10 in³/min: exactly 0.163 mL/s. 1 in³/min ≈ 2.731×10⁻⁷ m³/s.
