What does barrel (US)/minute represent?

It represents the volumetric flow rate of one US petroleum barrel (42 US gallons) passing per minute, commonly used in oil and gas industries.

Why convert barrel (US)/minute to liter/second?

Converting to liter/second makes flow measurements compatible with engineering and laboratory standards that prefer metric units.

Does this conversion consider temperature or pressure changes?

No, the conversion assumes standard temperature and pressure conditions unless specified otherwise.
