Supports flow rate units common in plumbing, water systems, and petroleum engineering
Clear display of conversion formulas and example calculations
Ideal for engineers and professionals working with imperial and petroleum volumetric units

Examples

10 gallon (UK)/minute equals 0.004765674 barrel (US)/second
50 gallon (UK)/minute converts to 0.02382837 barrel (US)/second

Common Use Cases

Specifying pump and hose capacities in regions using imperial gallons for water supply and firefighting
Sizing plumbing fixtures such as taps and showers with imperial units and converting for petroleum applications
Reporting oil well production rates and pipeline flow capacities in barrels per second
Converting field data into SI units for engineering design and simulation purposes

Tips & Best Practices

Confirm the source flow rate is in gallon (UK)/minute to ensure correct conversion
Be mindful of the unit difference in time (minutes vs seconds) when interpreting results
Use the conversion formula for verification if performing manual calculations
Consider fluid properties and measurement conditions as conversions assume standard temperature and pressure

Limitations

Small flow rates may produce very low barrel (US)/second values due to unit scale difference
Conversion requires attention to different time bases to avoid calculation errors
Accuracy can be impacted by changes in fluid temperature and pressure not accounted for in the conversion
Precision differences between measurement methods can affect results
