What does barrel (US)/second measure?

It measures volumetric flow rate where one US oil barrel passes a point each second, primarily used for large liquid flow rates such as crude oil.

When should I use cubic foot/hour instead of barrel (US)/second?

Cubic foot/hour is more suitable for gases and moderate flow rates, often in HVAC systems or gas pipeline measurements.

Does this conversion consider temperature and pressure variations?

No, the conversion assumes standard conditions; real-world variations can affect the measured flow volumes.
