What Is This Tool?
This tool converts volumetric flow rates from barrel (US)/day, a common unit in petroleum production, to cubic centimeter/day, a unit used to measure very small continuous flow volumes. It enables users to easily translate large-scale oil flow rates into smaller volumetric units suitable for detailed analysis.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value in barrel (US)/day you wish to convert.
-
Select cubic centimeter/day as the target unit for conversion.
-
Click the convert button to view the equivalent flow rate in cubic centimeter/day.
-

Key Features
-
Converts barrel (US)/day to cubic centimeter/day based on an established conversion rate.
-
Supports flow measurement units used in petroleum industry and precise microfluidic flows.
-
Browser-based, easy to use with no installations required.
-
Provides quick and accurate volumetric flow rate translations for diverse applications.
Examples
-
2 barrel (US)/day converts to 317,974.589856 cubic centimeter/day.
-
0.5 barrel (US)/day converts to 79,493.647464 cubic centimeter/day.
Common Use Cases
-
Reporting crude oil production rates for wells, fields, and countries.
-
Specifying throughput and capacity in oil pipelines, tankers, or terminals.
-
Measuring slow liquid deliveries and dosing rates in clinical environments.
-
Quantifying leakage or permeation in containers, seals, or membranes.
-
Monitoring small-scale laboratory or microfluidic flow volumes.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure original flow measurements are accurate before conversion.
-
Consider rounding results for practical use due to large numerical values.
-
Use sensitive instrumentation when measuring very small volumetric flows.
-
Cross-check converted values when applying to environmental or clinical studies.
Limitations
-
Conversion results in very large numbers due to scale differences, which can be unwieldy without rounding.
-
Accuracy depends on the precision of the initial barrel (US)/day measurement.
-
Very small flow rates require highly sensitive equipment for reliable quantification.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why would I convert barrel (US)/day to cubic centimeter/day?
-
Converting allows translation of large petroleum flow rates into much smaller volumetric units used in precise monitoring, clinical dosing, or microfluidics.
-
Is this conversion relevant outside the petroleum industry?
-
Yes, it is useful in scientific research, environmental leakage testing, and medical dosing where accurate small volume flow measurement is necessary.
-
Can I use this tool for any flow rate conversion?
-
This tool specifically converts barrel (US)/day to cubic centimeter/day. Other unit conversions require different tools.
Key Terminology
-
Barrel (US)/day [bbl (US)/d]
-
A unit measuring volumetric flow equal to the number of US oil barrels passing a point per day; one US barrel equals 42 US gallons (~158.9873 liters).
-
Cubic centimeter/day
-
A volumetric flow unit representing one cubic centimeter of volume transferred each day, commonly used to quantify very small flow rates.
