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.
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.
