What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms flow measurements from hundred-cubic foot per day, a unit used for small continuous flow rates in gases or liquids, to barrel (US) per second, which is commonly applied for large liquid flow rates such as crude oil. The tool facilitates consistent reporting and operational planning across industries like natural gas production and petroleum extraction.

Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure input flow rates represent steady conditions for accurate results.
-
Recognize the units describe different fluid states and scales, so apply conversions accordingly.
-
Use this tool to standardize flow data across natural gas and petroleum fields.
-
Confirm measurement conditions to avoid errors due to gas compressibility or temperature.
-
Compare converted results carefully when dealing with fluids of differing properties.
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes steady flow and does not factor in gas compressibility or temperature variations.
-
Units represent different typical fluids and volumes; caution is needed for flows with varying fluid characteristics.
-
Precision may be affected if fluid states or conditions differ significantly between measurements.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one hundred-cubic foot per day represent?
-
It is a volumetric flow rate representing 100 cubic feet of fluid passing a point in one day, typically used for small continuous flow rates of gases or liquids.
-
Where is barrel (US)/second commonly used?
-
Barrel (US)/second is used to measure large liquid flow rates, especially for crude oil and petroleum products.
-
Can this conversion be used for unsteady or variable flows?
-
This conversion assumes steady flow rates and does not account for variations like compressibility or temperature changes.
