What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms flow measurements from barrel (US) per hour, a unit used primarily in petroleum engineering, into cubic centimeters per second, suitable for precise laboratory and medical applications.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value in barrel (US) per hour
-
Select the from unit as barrel (US)/hour [bbl (US)/h]
-
Select the to unit as cubic centimeter/second
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent flow rate
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow rates between barrel (US)/hour and cubic centimeter/second
-
Supports petroleum industry and laboratory scale units
-
Browser-based and simple to access
-
Allows quick translation of large-scale flow rates into small-scale volumetric measurements
Examples
-
2 bbl (US)/h equals 88.32627496 cubic centimeters per second
-
0.5 bbl (US)/h equals 22.08156874 cubic centimeters per second
Common Use Cases
-
Reporting crude oil and refinery production rates measured in barrels per hour
-
Sizing and specifying pumping and loading rates at oil terminals
-
Converting petroleum flow rates for detailed laboratory or medical analysis
-
Measuring small liquid flow rates in infusion pumps or microfluidic devices
Tips & Best Practices
-
Double-check unit selections before converting to ensure accuracy
-
Use the cubic centimeter/second unit for small volume flow measurements
-
Apply barrel per hour units for large-scale petroleum production flow rates
-
Be mindful of scale differences when interpreting conversion results
Limitations
-
The units measure largely different flow magnitudes and require scale awareness
-
Cubic centimeters per second suits small flows; barrels per hour describe large flows
-
Measurement precision may affect conversion accuracy if scales are mismatched
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does barrel (US)/hour measure?
-
It measures volumetric flow rate as the number of U.S. oil barrels passing a point each hour, mainly used in petroleum and refinery contexts.
-
When should I use cubic centimeter/second?
-
This unit is ideal for expressing small liquid or gas flow rates in laboratory experiments, medical infusions, and precise engineering applications.
-
How do I convert barrel (US)/hour to cubic centimeter/second?
-
Multiply the value in barrel (US)/hour by 44.16313748 to get the flow rate in cubic centimeters per second.
Key Terminology
-
Barrel (US)/hour [bbl (US)/h]
-
A volumetric flow rate representing the number of U.S. oil barrels passing a point per hour, used in petroleum production and processing.
-
Cubic centimeter/second
-
A flow rate unit denoting one cubic centimeter of fluid passing a point each second, equivalent to 1 milliliter per second.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
A measure of the volume of fluid passing through a point per unit of time.
