About UK pints per minute
The UK pint per minute (pt/min) equals 4.54609×10⁻³/8/60 ≈ 9.471×10⁻⁶ m³/s, common in British beer-dispense engineering and pump datasheets pre-metrication. A cellar gas dispense system pressurising beer lines at 2 UK pt/min per tap maintains balanced flow for a 6-tap bar. 1 UK pt/min ≈ 9.471×10⁻⁶ m³/s ≈ 0.5683 L/min.
About US gallons per second
The US gallon per second (gal/s) equals 3.785411784×10⁻³ m³/s, used for very large pump discharge rates and fire-suppression deluge systems. A large centrifugal fire pump rated 1 500 US gal/min delivers exactly 25 US gal/s; industrial cooling-tower makeup lines are sized in gal/s at peak demand. 1 US gal/s = 3.785411784×10⁻³ m³/s = 60 US gal/min ≈ 227.1 L/min.
