What does barrel (US)/second measure?

It measures volumetric flow rate representing one US oil barrel passing a point every second, where one barrel equals exactly 42 US gallons.

When should I convert barrel (US)/second to cubic inch/second?

This conversion is useful for translating large liquid flow rates in the oil industry into smaller units suitable for precise engineering or lab measurements using imperial units.

Are there any assumptions made in this conversion?

Yes, the conversion assumes steady flow conditions and does not account for the effects of fluid compressibility or temperature variations.

Initiate the conversion to view the equivalent flow rate.

Key Features

Converts large volumetric flow rates from barrel (US)/second to smaller imperial units.
Provides instant conversion relevant to oil production and fluid dispensing applications.
Supports flow rate conversions used in hydraulic, pneumatic, and laboratory equipment.

Examples

2 barrel (US)/second converts to 19404 cubic inch/second.
0.5 barrel (US)/second converts to 4851 cubic inch/second.

Common Use Cases

Reporting oil well and field production rates in different units.
Designing and monitoring capacities of crude-oil pipelines and pumps.
Translating field measurements into SI units for engineering analysis.
Measuring small flow rates in hydraulic components and miniature pumps.
Determining dispensing rates in manufacturing and laboratory apparatus.
Assessing leak rates in pneumatic or vacuum systems with imperial units.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the flow rate input is steady and representative of actual conditions before converting.
Use standardized volume references consistent with US oil industry definitions.
Be cautious with very large flows converting to cubic inch/second due to large resulting values.
Confirm unit selections carefully to avoid conversion errors in engineering calculations.

Limitations

Converting large flows to cubic inch/second can result in very large numbers that may be cumbersome to handle.
Slight variations in barrel definitions globally may affect precision; this tool uses the US oil industry standard.
Assumes steady flow and does not consider fluid compressibility or temperature variations.
