What is a barrel (US)/second?

It is a volumetric flow rate representing one US oil barrel, equal to 42 US gallons, passing a point every second.

When should I use gallon (UK)/hour as a unit?

Gallon (UK)/hour is commonly used for low-volume flow rates in UK water treatment, chemical dosing, and similar applications.

Why do conversions between these units produce large numbers?

Because one barrel (US)/second equals a very large number of gallons (UK)/hour, reflecting the different sizes and time units involved.

What Is This Tool?

This tool converts flow rates from barrel (US) per second to gallon (UK) per hour. It supports users needing to translate large volumetric flow measures used in petroleum with smaller units common in UK water treatment and process engineering.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow value in barrel (US)/second
Select barrel (US)/second as the input unit and gallon (UK)/hour as the output unit
Click 'Convert' to see the equivalent rate in gallon (UK)/hour
Review the result, especially for large values, to ensure proper interpretation

Key Features

Converts between barrel (US)/second and gallon (UK)/hour flow units
Supports industrial and process system applications
Browser-based with quick input and conversion
Displays large value conversions accurately
Helps bridge unit differences between US and UK standards

Examples

1 barrel (US)/second = 125,900.34 gallon (UK)/hour
0.5 barrel (US)/second = 62,950.17 gallon (UK)/hour

Common Use Cases

Reporting oil production rates at wells and fields in different units
Sizing and monitoring crude oil pipeline and pump flow capacities
Specifying low-volume pump or dosing rates in UK water treatment systems
Expressing fuel consumption or lubricant flow rates in imperial units
Measuring drip irrigation, condensate drain, or leak flow rates for agricultural or industrial use

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure correct unit selection when entering flow values
Be cautious of very large numbers due to the large conversion factor
Validate flow steadiness since conversion assumes steady-state rates
Use this tool to compare and integrate flow data from different unit systems
Cross-check complex engineering calculations using the converted values

Limitations

Conversion can result in very large values that need careful handling
Requires precision because of differences in US barrel and UK gallon definitions
Assumes steady, not transient, flow rates for accuracy
Not suitable for units outside barrel (US)/second and gallon (UK)/hour
May require additional context for engineering applications involving dynamic flows
