About UK pints per second
The UK (imperial) pint per second (pt/s) equals 4.54609×10⁻³/8 ≈ 5.683×10⁻⁴ m³/s. The UK pint (20 fl oz) is 20% larger than the US pint. It is used in British brewery and beverage-filling lines - a canning line filling 0.568 L (1 pt) cans at 10 cans/s processes exactly 10 UK pt/s. 1 UK pt/s ≈ 5.683×10⁻⁴ m³/s ≈ 1.201 US pt/s.
About US barrels per minute
The US barrel per minute (bbl/min) equals 0.158987294928/60 ≈ 2.650×10⁻³ m³/s, used in oil-pipeline pigging operations and tanker loading/unloading rates. A large crude-oil loading arm at a terminal can transfer 20 000 bbl/h = ≈333 bbl/min = ≈52 000 US gal/min. Pipeline operators monitor block-valve isolation in bbl/min to detect ruptures. 1 bbl/min ≈ 2.650×10⁻³ m³/s.
