What does 1 barrel (US)/minute represent?

It represents one US petroleum barrel, approximately 158.9873 liters, passing per minute as a measurement of volumetric flow rate.

Why convert barrel (US)/minute to cubic meter/hour?

Converting to cubic meter/hour allows easier use in general engineering, water management, and HVAC applications where cubic meters per hour is the standard unit.

Are the conversion results affected by temperature or pressure?

Yes, because volume can change with temperature and pressure, the conversion assumes standard conditions and actual flow volumes may vary.
