About US fluid ounces per minute
The US fluid ounce per minute (fl oz/min) equals 3.785411784×10⁻³/128/60 ≈ 4.929×10⁻⁷ m³/s. It is found in US consumer-product flow specifications such as showerhead flow ratings, beverage dispenser settings, and fuel-injector bench tests in US automotive workshops. A showerhead rated at 48 fl oz/min delivers exactly 1.5 US gal/min. 1 fl oz/min ≈ 4.929×10⁻⁷ 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.
