What does one ounce (UK)/second represent?

It is a volumetric flow equal to one imperial fluid ounce passing a point every second, with one imperial ounce equal to 28.4130625 millilitres.

What is a barrel (US)/second used for?

It represents a volumetric flow where one US oil barrel (42 gallons or about 159 litres) passes a point per second, commonly used in crude oil production and petroleum transport.

Why are the converted values from ounce (UK)/second to barrel (US)/second so small?

Because an ounce (UK) is much smaller than a US barrel, converting small flow rates results in very small decimal values, requiring precise interpretation.

Review the result and use it for your application or calculations.

Key Features

Converts volumetric flow rates from ounce (UK)/second to barrel (US)/second accurately.
Suitable for small flow rates in labs and beverage service as well as large-scale petroleum flows.
Browser-based tool requiring no installation.
Includes example calculations to assist understanding.
Supports engineering and industrial unit translation in fluid handling.

Examples

10 ounce (UK)/second equals 0.001787128 barrel (US)/second.
50 ounce (UK)/second equals 0.00893564 barrel (US)/second.

Common Use Cases

Measuring small dispenser or tap flow rates in beverage and brewery setups.
Reporting dosing or drip rates in laboratory and pharmaceutical settings.
Describing microfluidic or small leak flow rates in engineering tests.
Tracking production rates of oil wells and fields in barrels per second.
Sizing pipelines and pumps for crude oil transport.
Translating measured flow rates into SI units for engineering simulations.

Tips & Best Practices

Verify unit selections carefully to avoid mix-ups between imperial fluid ounces and US barrels.
Be mindful that small flow rates converted to barrels per second result in very small decimal numbers.
Use the tool to bridge flow measurement scales from laboratory or beverage setups to large petroleum processes.
Double-check results when converting mid-range flow rates as the scale difference may be less meaningful.

Limitations

Conversion yields very small decimal values for tiny flow rates, requiring precision handling.
Different measurement systems imply careful consideration to prevent errors.
Primarily useful for scaling from small to large flow volumes; less applicable for mid-range values.
