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 Millilitres per second
The millilitre per second (mL/s) equals 10⁻⁶ m³/s, common in laboratory syringe pumps, HPLC systems, and medical infusion devices. A standard IV drip running at 1 mL/s would deliver 3.6 L/h - a rapid infusion rate used in resuscitation; analytical HPLC columns run 0.5-5 mL/s. 1 mL/s = 10⁻⁶ m³/s = 60 mL/min = 3.6 L/h.
