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 Minute (gal/min)
Definition
Gallon per minute (gal/min or GPM) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in gallons passing through a given area per minute. It's one of the most common flow rate units in American water and fluid systems.
History
The GPM unit became standard in American plumbing, water systems, and fluid handling applications. It provided convenient numerical values for residential and commercial water systems, becoming the primary unit for pump ratings, plumbing design, and water system specifications in the United States.
Current Use
GPM is extensively used in American plumbing, water supply systems, pumps, and fluid handling equipment. It's standard for water pump ratings, plumbing fixture flow rates, irrigation systems, and residential/commercial water system design and specifications.

Conversion Examples
Convert 1 Barrel per Day to Gallon per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 bbl/d = 0.0291667 gal/min
- Conversion Formula: gal/min = bbl/d ÷ 34.2857
- Calculation: 1 bbl/d ÷ 34.2857 = 0.0291667 gal/min
Convert 10 Barrel per Day to Gallon per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 bbl/d = 0.0291667 gal/min
- Conversion Formula: gal/min = bbl/d ÷ 34.2857
- Calculation: 10 bbl/d ÷ 34.2857 = 0.291667 gal/min
Convert 100 Barrel per Day to Gallon per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 bbl/d = 0.0291667 gal/min
- Conversion Formula: gal/min = bbl/d ÷ 34.2857
- Calculation: 100 bbl/d ÷ 34.2857 = 2.91667 gal/min
Convert 1,000 Barrel per Day to Gallon per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 bbl/d = 0.0291667 gal/min
- Conversion Formula: gal/min = bbl/d ÷ 34.2857
- Calculation: 1,000 bbl/d ÷ 34.2857 = 29.1667 gal/min
