Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow rates from gallon (US)/second to kilobarrel (US)/day with ease.
-
Browser-based tool requiring no installation.
-
Supports industry-specific units used in water systems and oil production.
-
Provides quick conversion using a fixed, industry-recognized formula.
-
Includes example conversions for reference.
Examples
-
1 gallon (US)/second equals approximately 2.06 kilobarrel (US)/day.
-
5 gallon (US)/second equals approximately 10.29 kilobarrel (US)/day.
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying discharge rates for high-capacity water or firefighting pumps.
-
Reporting oil field production rates in kilobarrel (US)/day.
-
Measuring flow in irrigation systems and large plumbing valves.
-
Calculating throughput capacities for crude oil pipelines and tankers.
-
Estimating refinery crude oil intake and processing capacities.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure the input value is in US gallons per second for accurate conversion.
-
Use this tool to express flow rates in units standard to oil and gas industries.
-
Check if the liquid's properties are similar to those of crude oil or water before applying the conversion.
-
Refer to example conversions to verify your results.
-
Consider variations in temperature or fluid composition independently, as they are not accounted for.
Limitations
-
Assumes standard US liquid gallon and barrel volumes without adjustments for temperature or fluid composition.
-
May not provide accurate results for gases or compressible fluids.
-
Conversions are intended for liquids with properties close to crude oil or water.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 1 gallon (US)/second equal in kilobarrel (US)/day?
-
1 gallon (US)/second equals approximately 2.0571428571 kilobarrel (US)/day based on standard conversion.
-
Where is kilobarrel (US)/day commonly used?
