What is a kilobarrel (US)/day?

It is a volumetric flow unit equal to 1,000 US oil barrels per day, commonly used to express production and throughput rates in the oil and gas industry.

Why convert kilobarrel (US)/day to cubic meter/hour?

Users convert to cubic meter/hour to translate oil production volumes into metric flow units widely used in engineering and process control.

Does this conversion account for fluid properties like density?

No, the conversion is volumetric only and does not consider fluid density, temperature, or other properties.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the value in kilobarrel (US)/day you wish to convert
Select kilobarrel (US)/day as the input unit
Choose cubic meter/hour [m^3/h] as the output unit
Click the convert button to get the flow rate in cubic meters per hour

Key Features

Converts kilobarrel (US)/day to cubic meter/hour accurately using standardized units
Supports flow measurement in oil production, pipeline throughput, and process flow rates
Easy to use with intuitive input and output fields
Browser-based with no installation required
Includes practical examples for quick reference

Examples

2 kbbl/day converts to approximately 13.25 m^3/h
5 kbbl/day converts to about 33.12 m^3/h
Conversion follows the formula: 1 kbbl/day = 6.624470622 m^3/h

Common Use Cases

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure you use the standardized barrel volume of 42 US gallons for accurate conversion
Double-check unit selections before converting to prevent errors
Use this tool to compare oil industry production flows with general engineering flow units
Consider context when applying the conversion in different fluid systems
Remember this tool converts volumetric flow and does not account for fluid density or temperature variations

Limitations

Kilobarrel (US)/day unit is specific to oil industry and based on US customary barrel size
Conversion assumes a standardized volume of 42 US gallons per barrel
Does not factor in fluid density or temperature changes
Both units measure volumetric flow only without property adjustments
