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.

Gallon per Second (gal/s)

Definition

Gallon per second (gal/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in gallons passing through a given area per second. It's used for high-flow applications in American systems.

History

The gal/s unit developed for high-capacity water and fluid handling systems in the United States. It became useful for large pumping systems, fire protection, and industrial applications where gallon-per-minute measurements would result in very large numbers.

Current Use

Gal/s is used in large-scale water systems, fire protection, high-capacity pumps, and industrial fluid handling in the United States. It's standard for large pump specifications, fire suppression systems, and major water distribution system measurements.

Conversion Examples

Convert 1 Barrel per Minute to Gallon per Second

  1. Conversion Factor: 1 bbl/min = 0.516667 gal/s
  2. Conversion Formula: gal/s = bbl/min ÷ 1.93548
  3. Calculation: 1 bbl/min ÷ 1.93548 = 0.516667 gal/s

Convert 10 Barrel per Minute to Gallon per Second

  1. Conversion Factor: 1 bbl/min = 0.516667 gal/s
  2. Conversion Formula: gal/s = bbl/min ÷ 1.93548
  3. Calculation: 10 bbl/min ÷ 1.93548 = 5.16667 gal/s

Convert 100 Barrel per Minute to Gallon per Second

  1. Conversion Factor: 1 bbl/min = 0.516667 gal/s
  2. Conversion Formula: gal/s = bbl/min ÷ 1.93548
  3. Calculation: 100 bbl/min ÷ 1.93548 = 51.6667 gal/s

Convert 1,000 Barrel per Minute to Gallon per Second

  1. Conversion Factor: 1 bbl/min = 0.516667 gal/s
  2. Conversion Formula: gal/s = bbl/min ÷ 1.93548
  3. Calculation: 1,000 bbl/min ÷ 1.93548 = 516.667 gal/s
