What Is This Tool?
This unit converter transforms volumetric flow rates from barrel (US)/minute into cubic centimeter/second, facilitating easy translation of large-scale liquid flow measurements into more precise, small-scale units commonly used in medical and laboratory settings.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the numeric value in barrel (US)/minute you wish to convert
-
Select barrel (US)/minute as the source unit and cubic centimeter/second as the target unit
-
Execute the conversion to get the equivalent flow rate in cubic centimeter/second

Converts industrial flow units (barrel (US)/minute) to precise laboratory units (cubic centimeter/second)
-
Browser-based and user-friendly for quick, accurate conversions
-
Supports flow measurement needs in oil and gas, medical, and experimental environments
Examples
-
1 barrel (US)/minute equals 2649.7882488 cubic centimeter/second
-
0.5 barrel (US)/minute equals 1324.8941244 cubic centimeter/second
Common Use Cases
-
Reporting production or flow rates in the oil and gas industry
-
Determining infusion pump delivery rates in medical dosing
-
Conducting microfluidics experiments and measuring small fluid flows in laboratories
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure flow conditions are steady to improve conversion reliability
-
Verify units carefully to maintain consistency between industrial and precise small-scale measures
-
Use specialized equipment for accurate measurement when converting large industrial flows to small units
Limitations
-
Assumes a steady, continuous flow and may not reflect transient or turbulent variations
-
Large-scale industrial flows may require precise measurement tools for accuracy at small scales
-
Conversion accuracy can be affected by rounding and measurement resolution when handling very small flows
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 1 barrel (US)/minute represent?
-
It represents a volumetric flow rate where one US petroleum barrel (42 US gallons, about 158.9873 liters) flows per minute.
-
Why convert barrel (US)/minute to cubic centimeter/second?
-
To translate large industrial flow rates into smaller units suitable for applications such as laboratory experiments and precise medical dosing.
-
Is this conversion suitable for measuring highly variable flows?
-
No, it assumes steady flow conditions and might not accurately represent transient or turbulent flow variations.
Key Terminology
-
Barrel (US)/minute
-
A volumetric flow rate unit equal to one US petroleum barrel (42 US gallons, approximately 158.9873 liters) passing per minute, commonly used in the oil and gas industry.
-
Cubic centimeter/second
-
A measure of volumetric flow rate representing one cubic centimeter of fluid passing a point each second, equivalent to one milliliter per second.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The volume of fluid flowing through a given area per unit of time, used to quantify fluid movement in various applications.
