About US pints per hour
The US pint per hour (pt/h) equals 3.785411784×10⁻³/8/3600 ≈ 1.314×10⁻⁷ m³/s, used in US medical-device standards for slow-drip infusion and in American homebrew calculations for sparge water addition rates. A slow gravity sparge at 24 pt/h = 3 US gal/h is typical for small-batch homebrewing. 1 US pt/h ≈ 1.314×10⁻⁷ m³/s.
About Litres per second
The litre per second (L/s) equals 10⁻³ m³/s, the standard unit for municipal water-supply engineering, fire-fighting flows, and HVAC system air handling. A fire hydrant delivers 15-30 L/s; a household mains water connection is typically 0.1-0.5 L/s; a large building HVAC chilled-water loop circulates 50-200 L/s. 1 L/s = 10⁻³ m³/s = 3.6 m³/h ≈ 15.85 US gal/min.
