What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms volumetric flow rates from cubic centimeters per hour, a unit for very low steady flows, into kilobarrels (US) per day, a large-scale unit commonly used in the oil and gas industry to quantify production and throughput.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the numeric value in cubic centimeters per hour that you wish to convert
-
Select cubic centimeter/hour as the input unit and kilobarrel (US)/day as the output unit
-
Click convert to see the equivalent flow rate in kilobarrels per day
-
Use the result to relate small-scale flow data to large-scale industrial processes
Key Features
-

-
Provides quick, browser-based conversions using accurate defined rates
-
Suitable for translating microfluidic or precision pump flow rates into industrial scale measurements
Examples
-
1000 cubic centimeter/hour equals 0.000150955 kilobarrel (US)/day
-
500000 cubic centimeter/hour equals 0.075477 kilobarrel (US)/day
Common Use Cases
-
Converting low infusion rates in medical pumps to industrial scale measurements
-
Translating microfluidic experimental flow rates into oil and gas production units
-
Measuring throughput capacity in crude oil pipelines or refinery intake
-
Reporting oil field production volumes using kbbl/day
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure input values represent steady volumetric flow rates for accurate conversion
-
Use this conversion for flow rates within the appropriate scale range to avoid inaccuracies
-
Handle very small decimal results carefully to prevent rounding errors
-
Match unit choices to the precision and scale needed for your industry application
Limitations
-
Conversions produce very small decimal numbers due to differing flow rate scales
-
Not ideal for flow measurements outside the valid scale range of these units
-
Potential for loss of accuracy or relevance if applied beyond typical usage contexts
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one cubic centimeter per hour represent?
-
It represents the volume of one cubic centimeter or one milliliter of fluid passing per hour, used to measure very low steady flow rates.
-
Where is kilobarrel (US)/day mainly used?
-
Kilobarrel (US)/day is primarily used in the oil and gas industry to express production rates and throughput capacities of crude oil.
-
Can this converter be used for high flow rates?
-
This converter is designed for converting very low flow rates to large-scale industrial units; using it beyond typical ranges may reduce accuracy.
