What does barrel (US)/second measure?

It measures a volumetric flow rate where one US oil barrel passes a point every second, commonly used for crude oil flow.

Why convert barrel (US)/second to cubic inch/hour?

To translate large oil flow rates into very low-volume flow units useful in leak detection, laboratory dosing, and microfluidics.

Can I use cubic inch/hour for large scale flows directly?

No, cubic inch/hour is best for very low flow rates and not suitable for large flow rates without proper scaling.

Key Terminology

Barrel (US)/second: A flow unit representing one US oil barrel passing a point each second; one barrel equals exactly 42 US gallons.
Cubic inch/hour [in^3/h]: A volumetric flow unit describing one cubic inch of volume passing a location every hour; used for measuring very low flow volumes.
Volumetric flow rate: The quantity of fluid which passes through a surface per unit time, expressed in volume units such as barrels per second or cubic inches per hour.
