About US pints per second
The US pint per second (pt/s) equals 3.785411784×10⁻³/8 ≈ 4.732×10⁻⁴ m³/s, used in US food-filling equipment rated in pints-per-second throughput. High-speed dairy-packaging lines filling 16 oz (1 pt) cartons can achieve 10-20 pt/s per lane. 1 US pt/s ≈ 4.732×10⁻⁴ m³/s = 0.4732 L/s = 7.5 US gal/min.
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.
