What is a barrel (oil)?

A barrel (oil) is a non-SI volume unit used in the petroleum industry equal to 42 U.S. gallons or about 158.987 liters, used for measuring crude oil volume and flow.

What does ton register measure?

Ton register is a historical maritime volume unit equal to 100 cubic feet, used to express a ship's internal capacity as gross or net register tonnage.

Why convert barrels (oil) to ton register?

Converting barrels (oil) to ton register helps translate petroleum volume data into historical maritime measurements, useful for ship capacity assessments and archival maritime records.

Is ton register still widely used?

No, ton register has been mostly replaced internationally by the 1969 Tonnage Convention standards, but it remains relevant in historical and certain regional contexts.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms volumes measured in barrel (oil), a unit commonly used in petroleum industries, into ton register units, historically used for expressing ship internal capacities. It helps interpret oil volume data in maritime and archival contexts.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the number of barrels (oil) you want to convert.
Select barrel (oil) as the input unit and ton register as the output unit.
Apply the conversion formula by multiplying the entered value by 0.0561458333.
Review the resulting ton register value representing equivalent volume.
Use the result for volume comparison, reporting, or maritime documentation.

Key Features

Converts barrel (oil) volumes into ton register units accurately based on established conversion rates.
Supports applications in petroleum volume measurement and maritime cargo space estimation.
Uses a straightforward multiplication formula: multiply barrels by 0.0561458333 to get tons register.
Browser-based and easy to operate for users in shipping, oil trading, or archival research.
Provides examples for quick understanding of conversion outputs.

Examples

Converting 10 barrels (oil) results in 0.561458333 ton register.
Converting 100 barrels (oil) results in 5.61458333 ton register.

Common Use Cases

Translating petroleum volume data into traditional maritime volume units.
Assessing ship internal capacity or cargo space using historical register tonnage measurements.
Estimating shipping charges based on register ton units in locations using older maritime fee systems.
Supporting archival studies and ship design analysis referencing historical volume metrics.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure you input the volume specifically in barrel (oil) units for accurate conversion.
Use the conversion formula consistently to maintain standard results.
Remember that ton register is a historical unit and may not fully represent modern ship capacity standards.
Check whether maritime regulations require updated tonnage units before relying solely on ton register.
Use this conversion tool mainly for comparative or archival volume estimations involving petroleum and ship measurements.

Limitations

The ton register unit is mostly historical and replaced by 1969 Tonnage Convention standards internationally.
Barrel volumes specifically measure petroleum products and may not directly correlate with ship carrying capacities without additional context.
Modern maritime volume assessments typically use alternative tonnage measures rather than ton register.
This tool does not provide conversions beyond barrel (oil) to ton register.
