Unit Description
Barrel per Minute (bbl/min)
Definition
Barrel per minute (bbl/min) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in barrels passing through a given area per minute. It's used for higher-rate petroleum industry applications and pipeline measurements.
History
The bbl/min unit developed for measuring higher flow rates in petroleum operations such as major pipelines, large-scale pumping operations, and refinery processes where barrel-per-day measurements would result in very large numbers requiring conversion for operational purposes.
Current Use
Bbl/min is used in petroleum pipeline operations, large-scale oil pumping systems, refinery process control, and major oil handling facilities. It's standard for pipeline flow measurements, large pump specifications, and high-capacity oil handling equipment in the petroleum industry.
Cubic Foot per Hour (ft³/h)
Definition
Cubic foot per hour (ft³/h) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in cubic feet passing through a given area per hour. It's used for continuous process measurements and gas flow applications.
History
The ft³/h unit became important in gas distribution and continuous industrial processes in the United States. It provided appropriate scaling for natural gas consumption, continuous air supply systems, and industrial processes where hourly measurements were more practical.
Current Use
Ft³/h is used in natural gas systems, continuous air supply, industrial process control, and gas appliance ratings in the United States. It's found in gas meter readings, industrial gas consumption measurements, and continuous process monitoring applications.
