Unit Description
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.
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.

Conversion Examples
Convert 1 Liter per Hour to Barrel per Day
- Conversion Factor: 1 L/h = 0.150955 bbl/d
- Conversion Formula: bbl/d = L/h ÷ 6.62447
- Calculation: 1 L/h ÷ 6.62447 = 0.150955 bbl/d
Convert 10 Liter per Hour to Barrel per Day
- Conversion Factor: 1 L/h = 0.150955 bbl/d
- Conversion Formula: bbl/d = L/h ÷ 6.62447
- Calculation: 10 L/h ÷ 6.62447 = 1.50955 bbl/d
Convert 100 Liter per Hour to Barrel per Day
- Conversion Factor: 1 L/h = 0.150955 bbl/d
- Conversion Formula: bbl/d = L/h ÷ 6.62447
- Calculation: 100 L/h ÷ 6.62447 = 15.0955 bbl/d
Convert 1,000 Liter per Hour to Barrel per Day
- Conversion Factor: 1 L/h = 0.150955 bbl/d
- Conversion Formula: bbl/d = L/h ÷ 6.62447
- Calculation: 1,000 L/h ÷ 6.62447 = 150.955 bbl/d
