What does barrel (US)/second measure?

It measures volumetric flow rate as the number of US oil barrels passing a point each second, mostly used in petroleum industries.

Why convert barrel (US)/second to gallon (US)/hour?

To express large oil flow rates into smaller, more practical units suited for fuel consumption, chemical dosing, or smaller flow systems.

Are conversions different for metric barrels or gallons?

Yes, this tool uses US standard barrel and gallon definitions; metric variants require different conversion factors.
