What Is This Tool?
This tool enables the conversion of volumetric flow rates from milliliters per second, a metric unit suitable for small-scale fluid flow, to kilobarrel (US) per day, an industrial unit commonly used in oil and gas production and logistics.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate value in milliliters per second (mL/s)
-
Select milliliter/second as the input unit and kilobarrel (US)/day as the output unit
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent flow rate in kilobarrel (US)/day
-
Use the provided examples to verify your conversions if needed
Key Features

-
Browser-based and easy to use without complex setup
-
Includes clear examples to guide through the conversion process
-
Supports applications in medical, engineering, and oil and gas sectors
Examples
-
10 mL/s equals 0.005434397 kilobarrel (US)/day
-
100 mL/s equals 0.05434397 kilobarrel (US)/day
Common Use Cases
-
Setting and reporting precise flow rates for syringe pumps and microfluidic systems
-
Monitoring instantaneous airflow or small gas flows in pulmonary studies
-
Calibrating laboratory liquid-handling instruments
-
Reporting crude oil production rates in oil fields
-
Specifying pipeline and tanker throughput capabilities
-
Describing crude oil intake or processing capacity at refineries
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure steady flow conditions when performing conversions to maintain accuracy
-
Use this tool for converting small-scale laboratory measurements to large-scale industrial units
-
Double-check entered values to avoid conversion errors
-
Understand the practical scale differences between mL/s and kbbl/day before interpreting results
Limitations
-
The conversion is based on the assumption of steady flow rates
-
Milliliter/second measures very fine flow rates, while kilobarrel (US)/day is suited for large industrial volumes
-
Converting very small flow rates to industrial quantities may result in values that are less practical or meaningful
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does milliliter/second measure?
-
Milliliter/second is a metric unit that quantifies the volume of fluid flowing per second and is used primarily for small liquid or gas flow rates in scientific and medical applications.
-
Where is kilobarrel (US)/day commonly used?
-
Kilobarrel (US)/day is a volumetric flow unit extensively used in the oil and gas industry to express production quantities, pipeline throughput, and refinery intake rates.
-
Can I use this tool to convert any flow rate values?
-
Yes, this tool converts flow rates from milliliter/second to kilobarrel (US)/day, but it's important to consider the scale differences to ensure the results are practical for the intended application.
Key Terminology
-
Milliliter/second (mL/s)
-
A metric unit of volumetric flow rate indicating one milliliter of fluid passing a point each second, used for small-scale flow measurements.
-
Kilobarrel (US)/day (kbbl/day)
-
A unit of volumetric flow representing 1,000 US oil barrels per day, commonly used in oil and gas production and logistics.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The volume of fluid that passes through a given surface per unit time.
