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 US barrels per day
The US barrel per day (bbl/d or bpd) equals 0.158987294928/86400 ≈ 1.840×10⁻⁶ m³/s, the universal unit for crude-oil production, refinery capacity, and petroleum-product supply/demand reporting. Saudi Arabia produces ≈9-10 million bbl/d; global demand is ≈99-102 million bbl/d. All oil-market pricing, OPEC quotas, and EIA reports use bbl/d. 1 bbl/d ≈ 1.840×10⁻⁶ m³/s ≈ 0.15899 m³/d.
