What does ounce per second measure?

Ounce per second measures the flow rate indicating how many ounces pass a point each second. It can refer to mass or volume ounces depending on the context.

Why convert ounce/second to barrel (US)/minute?

Converting enables translating small-scale or laboratory flow measurements into standard industry units used in fields like oil and gas, facilitating accurate reporting and control.

Is the US barrel used outside petroleum measurement?

The US barrel definition mainly applies to petroleum contexts. For other industries, alternate volume units may be more suitable.
