What Is This Tool?
This tool enables you to convert volumetric flow rates from barrel (US) per day, a standard unit in the petroleum industry, to hundred-cubic foot per hour, commonly used for gas and air flow measurements.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in barrel (US)/day you want to convert.
-
Select barrel (US)/day as the source unit and hundred-cubic foot/hour as the target unit.
-
Click the convert button to see the flow rate in hundred-cubic foot/hour.
Key Features
-
Converts flow rates from barrel (US)/day to hundred-cubic foot/hour.
-
Supports units frequently used in petroleum and gas industries.
-
Provides clear, easy-to-understand conversion results.
-
Browser-based and accessible without installation.
Examples
-
10 barrel (US)/day converts to 0.023394097 hundred-cubic foot/hour.
-
50 barrel (US)/day converts to 0.116970485 hundred-cubic foot/hour.
Common Use Cases
-
Reporting crude oil production rates per well, field, or country.
-
Specifying capacity in pipelines, tankers, or terminals.
-
Monitoring refinery input/output rates and energy market supply.
-
Measuring natural gas consumption for residential or small commercial use.
-
Sizing gas supplies to appliances and process equipment.
-
Managing ventilation and exhaust flow rates in imperial units.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure the correct units are selected before conversion.
-
Interpret results carefully since the units represent different substances and timescales.
-
Use this tool to integrate petroleum volumetrics with gas flow measurements.
-
Consider the context of application to avoid misinterpretation.
Limitations
-
The conversion compares oil volume flow to gas volume flow, which involve different physical properties.
-
Time scales differ between units; barrel per day versus hundred-cubic foot per hour.
-
Care should be taken when using results across different substance types due to unit scale variations.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does barrel (US)/day represent?
-
It is a volumetric flow rate indicating the number of US oil barrels passing a point per day, used primarily in the petroleum industry.
-
What is hundred-cubic foot/hour used for?
-
This unit measures flow rates of gas or air typically at low to moderate volumes, useful in utility metering and ventilation systems.
-
Why is conversion between these units important?
-
Conversion helps translate petroleum flow data into units suitable for gas or airflow applications, aiding integration across industries.
Key Terminology
-
Barrel (US)/day
-
A volume flow rate unit indicating how many US barrels (each 42 gallons) pass a point every day, standard in petroleum production.
-
Hundred-cubic foot/hour
-
A flow rate unit that measures 100 cubic feet of gas or air passing a point each hour, used for low-to-moderate volumes.
-
Volumetric Flow Rate
-
The amount of volume of fluid passing a given point per unit time.
