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 US pints per minute
The US pint per minute (pt/min) equals 3.785411784×10⁻³/8/60 ≈ 7.886×10⁻⁶ m³/s, a unit encountered in US home-brewing, small-batch winery transfers, and consumer-grade pump ratings. A standard kitchen faucet running at 2 US gal/min produces 16 pt/min; a small submersible pond pump rated 50 gal/h delivers ≈27 pt/min. 1 US pt/min ≈ 7.886×10⁻⁶ m³/s.
