What does gallon (UK)/second measure?

It measures volumetric flow rate as one imperial gallon passing a point each second, where one imperial gallon equals 4.54609 litres.

What is a barrel (US)/hour used for?

This unit quantifies flow rates of crude oil, refined products, and other fluids in petroleum engineering and transport by counting U.S. oil barrels per hour.

Why is attention needed for units when converting?

Because this conversion involves different time bases and definitions of gallons, care must be taken to maintain unit consistency to avoid errors.
