Key Terminology
-
barrel (US)/day
-
A volumetric flow unit measuring the number of US oil barrels flowing per day; one barrel contains 42 US gallons.
-
cubic centimeter/second
-
A flow rate unit representing one cubic centimeter of fluid passing a point each second, equivalent to one milliliter per second.
