What does gallon (UK)/second measure?

Gallon (UK)/second is a volumetric flow rate indicating one imperial gallon of fluid passing a point each second.

Where is barrel (US)/minute commonly used?

Barrel (US)/minute is commonly used in the oil and gas industry to quantify liquid flow in wells, pipelines, and storage transfers.

Can this converter be used for mass flow calculations?

No, this converter only translates volumetric flow rates and does not account for mass flow or fluid density differences.

Supports applications in waterworks, firefighting, and oil and gas industries
User-friendly interface for quick and easy conversions
Browser-based tool requiring no installation
Includes practical examples to illustrate conversion usage

Examples

Convert 2 gallon (UK)/second to barrel (US)/minute: equals 3.4312855014 barrel (US)/minute
Convert 0.5 gallon (UK)/second to barrel (US)/minute: equals 0.85782137535 barrel (US)/minute

Common Use Cases

Specifying pump or meter capacities in systems using imperial (UK) units like older British waterworks
Reporting transient flows in water supply, hydrant testing, or firefighting systems using imperial gallons
Describing process flow rates in industrial or marine facilities with imperial documentation
Reporting well production or fluid flow rates in the oil and gas sector
Estimating loading and unloading rates for pipelines, tankers, and storage in petroleum operations

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure you use standard definitions for gallon (UK) and barrel (US) when performing conversions
Remember the conversion assumes steady volumetric flow without considering fluid density or temperature changes
Use this conversion primarily for volumetric flow rates and not for mass flow calculations
Apply this tool mainly when translating between British imperial units and US petroleum industry flow measurements

Limitations

Conversion does not account for variations due to fluid temperature or density changes
Assumes standard definitions of gallon (UK) and barrel (US); regional differences may affect results
This tool focuses on volumetric flow and does not handle mass flow or dynamic fluid properties
Not suitable for engineering analyses requiring adjustments for non-steady flow conditions
