What does fuel oil equivalent @barrel (US) measure?

It represents the energy content in one US barrel of fuel oil, used to express petroleum volume as energy instead of volume.

Why use kilogram-force centimeter for energy conversion?

Kilogram-force centimeter expresses small mechanical work or torque and appears in older engineering texts and specific mechanical applications.

Can this conversion account for all types of fuel oil accurately?

No, because the energy content varies with the fuel oil's grade and density, the conversion provides an approximate value.
