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.
Gallon per Hour (gal/h)
Definition
Gallon per hour (gal/h) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in gallons passing through a given area per hour. It's used for slow, continuous processes and fuel consumption measurements.
History
The gal/h unit became important for measuring fuel consumption, slow continuous processes, and applications where gallon-per-minute measurements would result in small decimal numbers. It was particularly useful in automotive fuel consumption and slow industrial processes.
Current Use
Gal/h is used for fuel consumption measurements, slow continuous processes, chemical dosing, and precision flow applications in the United States. It's found in fuel consumption specifications, chemical feed systems, and continuous process monitoring where slow flow rates are involved.

Conversion Examples
Convert 1 Barrel per Day to Gallon per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 bbl/d = 1.75 gal/h
- Conversion Formula: gal/h = bbl/d × 1.75
- Calculation: 1 bbl/d × 1.75 = 1.75 gal/h
Convert 10 Barrel per Day to Gallon per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 bbl/d = 1.75 gal/h
- Conversion Formula: gal/h = bbl/d × 1.75
- Calculation: 10 bbl/d × 1.75 = 17.5 gal/h
Convert 100 Barrel per Day to Gallon per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 bbl/d = 1.75 gal/h
- Conversion Formula: gal/h = bbl/d × 1.75
- Calculation: 100 bbl/d × 1.75 = 175 gal/h
Convert 1,000 Barrel per Day to Gallon per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 bbl/d = 1.75 gal/h
- Conversion Formula: gal/h = bbl/d × 1.75
- Calculation: 1,000 bbl/d × 1.75 = 1,750 gal/h
