What does kilobarrel (US)/day measure?

It measures volumetric flow as one thousand US oil barrels per day, used primarily in oil production and logistics.

Why convert to gallon (US)/minute?

Converting to gallons per minute helps interpret flow rates in contexts like plumbing, HVAC, and fuel transfer where smaller, common units are needed.

Can this conversion be used for fluids other than oil?

While the conversion uses standard US volumes, variations in fluid properties mean care should be taken when applying it outside oil flow contexts.

What Is This Tool?

This unit converter transforms volumetric flow rates from kilobarrel (US)/day, a common measure in the oil and gas industry, into gallon (US)/minute, which is widely used in plumbing, HVAC, and fuel transfer. It helps users interpret large-scale oil production rates in smaller, more practical flow units.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow value measured in kilobarrel (US)/day.
Select kilobarrel (US)/day as the source unit and gallon (US)/minute as the target unit.
Click convert to get the equivalent flow rate in gallons per minute.
Use the resulting value to assess pump capacities or flow requirements.

Key Features

Converts kilobarrel (US)/day to gallon (US)/minute with a defined conversion rate.
Supports oil industry production and logistics measurements.
Useful for plumbing, HVAC, and fuel transfer flow rate conversions.
Browser-based and simple to operate with no installation required.

Examples

2 kbbl/day equals 58.3333333334 gallons/minute.
0.5 kbbl/day equals 14.58333333335 gallons/minute.

Common Use Cases

Reporting oil field production rates in manageable flow units.
Specifying pipeline and tanker throughput capacity.
Evaluating refinery crude-oil intake or processing rates.
Determining pump and irrigation flow rates in plumbing systems.
Measuring fuel transfer rates in automotive maintenance.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure source flow values use the US barrel and gallon volume definitions.
Use converted values to match operational equipment needs precisely.
Be aware of the context when comparing units used primarily in different industries.
Recognize that environmental factors may influence actual flow beyond unit conversion.

Limitations

Conversion assumes fixed US volume measures without environmental adjustments.
Kilobarrel (US)/day is seldom used outside oil-related settings, limiting general applicability.
Differences in fluid density and temperature are not accounted for in conversion.
