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 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.

- Conversion Formula: bbl/min = L/h ÷ 7,040.87
- Calculation: 1 L/h ÷ 7,040.87 = 0.000142028 bbl/min
Convert 10 Liter per Hour to Barrel per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 L/h = 0.000142028 bbl/min
- Conversion Formula: bbl/min = L/h ÷ 7,040.87
- Calculation: 10 L/h ÷ 7,040.87 = 0.00142028 bbl/min
Convert 100 Liter per Hour to Barrel per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 L/h = 0.000142028 bbl/min
- Conversion Formula: bbl/min = L/h ÷ 7,040.87
- Calculation: 100 L/h ÷ 7,040.87 = 0.0142028 bbl/min
Convert 1,000 Liter per Hour to Barrel per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 L/h = 0.000142028 bbl/min
- Conversion Formula: bbl/min = L/h ÷ 7,040.87
- Calculation: 1,000 L/h ÷ 7,040.87 = 0.142028 bbl/min
