What does 1 barrel (US)/second represent?

It signifies one US oil barrel passing a point each second; a US barrel is precisely 158.987294928 litres.

Why convert barrel (US)/second to liter per minute?

Conversion enables translating large petroleum industry flow rates into metric units suitable for engineering, medical, or laboratory use.

Is this converter accurate for small flow rates?

No, because barrel (US)/second represents very large flows, conversion to liter per minute is less practical for small flow rates.
