What Is This Tool?
This conversion tool allows you to change flow measurements from barrel (US) per day, commonly used in oil production and transport, into cubic foot per minute, a unit often applied in engineering fields like HVAC and industrial fluid systems.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value in barrel (US) per day
-
Select barrel (US)/day as the source unit and cubic foot/minute as the target unit
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent flow rate in cubic foot/minute
-
Use the results to integrate petroleum flow data with engineering applications

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does barrel (US)/day measure?
-
Barrel (US)/day measures the flow rate of oil in terms of US oil barrels produced or transported per day.
-
Where is cubic foot/minute flow unit commonly used?
-
Cubic foot/minute is typically used to measure volumetric airflow in HVAC systems and industrial fluid handling.
-
Why convert barrel (US)/day to cubic foot/minute?
-
Converting allows integration of petroleum industry flow data with engineering flow systems for analysis and design.
Key Terminology
-
barrel (US)/day [bbl (US)/d]
-
A volumetric flow rate representing the number of US oil barrels passing a point per day; one barrel equals 42 US gallons.
-
cubic foot/minute [ft³/min]
-
A volumetric flow rate measuring how many cubic feet of fluid pass through a reference cross-section per minute.
