High volume to very small flow conversions require careful handling to prevent misinterpretation.
-
Precision in input values is critical to obtaining reliable conversion results.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does barrel (US)/minute measure?
-
It measures a volumetric flow rate representing one US petroleum barrel passing per minute, commonly used in oil and gas industries.
-
When should I use cubic centimeter/hour as a unit?
-
Use cubic centimeter/hour to measure very low and steady flow rates, often in medical or microfluidic applications.
-
Why is there a large conversion factor between these units?
-
Because barrel (US)/minute represents a much larger volume flow rate compared to the very small volumes represented by cubic centimeter/hour.
Key Terminology
-
Barrel (US)/minute
-
A volumetric flow rate equal to one US petroleum barrel passing per minute, used primarily in industrial liquid flow measurements.
-
Cubic centimeter/hour
-
A unit representing the flow of one cubic centimeter (or milliliter) of fluid per hour, used for very low steady flow measurements.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The volume of fluid that passes through a surface per unit time.
