It was stipulated to be sited in the US, so chances are that the pump
is rated in US gallons and not UK. There would be a rating plate that
says so.

In practice, I speculate that if you don't have time to look at the
rating plate on a howling fluid pump that's going to cost thousands of
dollars if it runs dry in the next few minutes, then you don't have
time or presence of mind to do simple arithmetic in your head
regardless of what units you have, therefore there's a cheat sheet
taped to the wall.
