Conversion Formula
bbl/s = pt/h × 9.928488141e-7
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 US barrels per second
The US barrel per second (bbl/s) equals 0.158987294928 m³/s, an extremely large flow rate used only for catastrophic spill-rate estimates and very large pipeline surge calculations. The 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill peaked at ≈60 000 bbl/d ≈ 0.000694 bbl/s; major subsea pipeline ruptures may briefly exceed 1 bbl/s during decompression. 1 US bbl/s = 0.158987 m³/s ≈ 158.987 L/s.
