What does cubic meter per minute measure?

It measures the volume of fluid passing a point every minute, commonly used in engineering for airflow and liquid flow rates.

Why use barrel (US)/second for flow rates?

Barrel (US)/second expresses large liquid flows, especially for crude oil and petroleum products, aligning with industry standards.

Can I use this converter for water flow?

While primarily for petroleum fluids, the conversion can be used cautiously for water flows if units and context are appropriate.
