What does barrel (US)/day measure?

It measures the volumetric flow rate of US oil barrels passing a point per day, commonly used in petroleum industry reporting and logistics.

Why convert barrel (US)/day to cubic foot/hour?

Converting allows translating petroleum flow rates into a standard volumetric flow unit useful for engineering, processing, and equipment sizing across industries.

Are temperature and pressure considered in this conversion?

No, the conversion assumes standard conditions and does not account for temperature or pressure variations that affect fluid density.
