About UK pints per hour
The UK pint per hour (pt/h) equals 4.54609×10⁻³/8/3600 ≈ 1.578×10⁻⁷ m³/s, used in British slow-infusion clinical records and historical dairy milk-flow measurements before metrication. An IV drip set at 100 mL/h equals ≈176 UK fl oz/h ≈ 8.8 UK pt/h. 1 UK pt/h ≈ 1.578×10⁻⁷ m³/s.
About Cubic metres per second
The cubic metre per second (m³/s) is the SI coherent unit of volumetric flow rate. It is used for large river discharges, turbine inlet flows, and major pipeline capacities. The Amazon River at its mouth averages ≈200 000 m³/s; a large hydroelectric turbine passes 400-800 m³/s; a major municipal water-main carries 5-20 m³/s. 1 m³/s = 1 000 L/s ≈ 15 850 US gal/min = 35.315 ft³/s.
