What Is This Tool?
This online converter transforms flow rate measurements from gallon (US)/minute to barrel (US)/day, supporting industries like petroleum, plumbing, and HVAC by translating smaller volume rates into standard oil industry units.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate value in gallon (US)/minute
-
Select gallon (US)/minute as the input unit and barrel (US)/day as the output unit
-
Click convert to obtain the equivalent flow rate in barrel (US)/day
-
Review and apply the converted value in your specific context
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow rates from gallon (US) per minute to barrel (US) per day
-
Uses the standard conversion factor based on US liquid gallons and oil barrels
-
Browser-based and easy to use with quick input and results display
-
Supports industry-relevant units used in plumbing, HVAC, and petroleum sectors
Examples
-
2 gallon (US)/minute converts to approximately 68.57 barrel (US)/day
-
10 gallon (US)/minute converts to approximately 342.86 barrel (US)/day
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying capacities for pumps and irrigation systems in residential or commercial plumbing
-
Rating water flow in HVAC systems and circulation for cooling towers
-
Reporting crude oil production rates in barrels per day for wells and fields
-
Measuring pipeline, tanker, or terminal throughput in oil transport
-
Comparing refinery inputs and outputs within the energy market
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure input values represent US liquid gallons per minute for accurate conversion
-
Use this tool to align smaller flow rate units to industry-standard barrel per day units
-
Apply converted results for consistent reporting in petroleum production and logistics
-
Double-check unit consistency when comparing data from different regions or contexts
Limitations
-
Conversion applies only to volumetric flow rates using US liquid gallon and US barrel definitions
-
Variations in barrel volumes in other countries or contexts may reduce accuracy
-
Does not consider changes in fluid density or temperature that affect mass flow
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 1 gallon (US)/minute equal in barrel (US)/day?
-
1 gallon (US)/minute equals approximately 34.29 barrel (US)/day based on the standard conversion.
-
In which industries is this conversion commonly used?
-
This conversion is widely used in petroleum production, pipeline transport, refinery operations, plumbing, and HVAC water flow rating.
-
Does this converter account for fluid density variations?
-
No, this tool only converts volumetric flow rates and does not factor in fluid density or temperature changes.
Key Terminology
-
Gallon (US)/minute
-
A volumetric flow rate unit indicating the number of US liquid gallons passing a point each minute.
-
Barrel (US)/day [bbl (US)/d]
-
A volumetric flow rate unit equal to the number of US oil barrels passing a point per day, with one barrel defined as 42 US gallons.
-
Volumetric Flow Rate
-
A measurement of volume passing through a point or system per unit of time.
