Unit Description

Barrel per Day (bbl/d)

Definition

Barrel per day (bbl/d) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in barrels passing through a given area per day. One barrel equals 42 US gallons, making this unit standard in the petroleum industry.

History

The bbl/d unit was developed specifically for the petroleum industry to measure oil production, refinery throughput, and pipeline capacity. It became the global standard for oil industry measurements, providing appropriate scaling for oil wells, refineries, and international oil trade.

Current Use

Bbl/d is universally used in the petroleum industry for measuring oil production rates, refinery capacity, pipeline throughput, and oil consumption. It's standard for oil well production reports, refinery specifications, international oil trade statistics, and petroleum industry analysis.

Cubic Foot per Second (ft³/s)

Definition

Cubic foot per second (ft³/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in cubic feet passing through a given area per second. It equals approximately 0.0283 cubic meters per second.

History

The ft³/s unit developed with American hydraulic engineering and water management systems. It became the standard unit for measuring river flows, water supply systems, and large-scale fluid handling in the United States, particularly for natural water systems and civil engineering projects.

Current Use

Ft³/s is extensively used in the United States for river flow measurements, water supply systems, flood control, and hydraulic engineering. It's standard for USGS stream gauging, water rights allocations, dam discharge measurements, and civil engineering hydraulic calculations.

Conversion Examples

Convert 1 Barrel per Day to Cubic Foot per Second

  1. Conversion Factor: 1 bbl/d = 0.0000649836 ft³/s
  2. Conversion Formula: ft³/s = bbl/d ÷ 15,388.5
  3. Calculation: 1 bbl/d ÷ 15,388.5 = 0.0000649836 ft³/s

Convert 10 Barrel per Day to Cubic Foot per Second

  1. Conversion Factor: 1 bbl/d = 0.0000649836 ft³/s
  2. Conversion Formula: ft³/s = bbl/d ÷ 15,388.5
  3. Calculation: 10 bbl/d ÷ 15,388.5 = 0.000649836 ft³/s

Convert 100 Barrel per Day to Cubic Foot per Second

  1. Conversion Factor: 1 bbl/d = 0.0000649836 ft³/s
  2. Conversion Formula: ft³/s = bbl/d ÷ 15,388.5
  3. Calculation: 100 bbl/d ÷ 15,388.5 = 0.00649836 ft³/s

Convert 1,000 Barrel per Day to Cubic Foot per Second

  1. Conversion Factor: 1 bbl/d = 0.0000649836 ft³/s
  2. Conversion Formula: ft³/s = bbl/d ÷ 15,388.5
  3. Calculation: 1,000 bbl/d ÷ 15,388.5 = 0.0649836 ft³/s
