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.
Liter per Hour (L/h)
Definition
Liter per hour (L/h) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in liters passing through a given area per hour. It's commonly used for slow, continuous processes and precision flow measurements.
History
The L/h unit became important in applications requiring precise, slow flow measurements such as medical infusions, chemical dosing, and precision manufacturing processes. It provided appropriate numerical values for applications where faster flow units would result in small decimal numbers.
Current Use
L/h is used in medical infusion systems, chemical dosing equipment, precision manufacturing, and slow continuous processes. It's standard for IV pump settings, chemical feed systems, precision dispensing equipment, and laboratory analytical instruments.

- Conversion Formula: L/h = bbl/min × 7,040.87
- Calculation: 1 bbl/min × 7,040.87 = 7,040.87 L/h
Convert 10 Barrel per Minute to Liter per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 bbl/min = 7,040.87 L/h
- Conversion Formula: L/h = bbl/min × 7,040.87
- Calculation: 10 bbl/min × 7,040.87 = 70,408.7 L/h
Convert 100 Barrel per Minute to Liter per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 bbl/min = 7,040.87 L/h
- Conversion Formula: L/h = bbl/min × 7,040.87
- Calculation: 100 bbl/min × 7,040.87 = 704,087 L/h
Convert 1,000 Barrel per Minute to Liter per Hour
- Conversion Factor: 1 bbl/min = 7,040.87 L/h
- Conversion Formula: L/h = bbl/min × 7,040.87
- Calculation: 1,000 bbl/min × 7,040.87 = 7.04087e+6 L/h
