Barrel per Day to Liter per Second Converter

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.

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.

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.

Liter per second (L/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in liters passing through a given area per second. It equals 0.001 cubic meters per second, providing a convenient scale for moderate flow measurements.

The L/s unit developed with the widespread adoption of the liter as a practical volume unit. It became particularly useful for water supply systems, plumbing applications, and medium-scale fluid handling where cubic meters would be too large and milliliters too small.

L/s is commonly used in plumbing and water supply systems, irrigation, fire protection systems, and laboratory applications. It's standard for measuring flow rates in residential and commercial water systems, pump specifications, and hydraulic system design.
