About US gallons per minute
The US gallon per minute (gpm) equals 3.785411784×10⁻³/60 ≈ 6.309×10⁻⁵ m³/s, the dominant volumetric flow unit in US plumbing, HVAC, and water-treatment industries. EPA showerhead standards are set at 2.5 gpm; residential water meters size at 3/4"-1" for 5-20 gpm; municipal water-distribution design uses hundreds to thousands of gpm. 1 gpm ≈ 6.309×10⁻⁵ m³/s = 3.785 L/min.
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.
