Rendered to 6 significant figures.
Formula
Formula
L/s = bbl/day × 0.001840131
Multiply any value in oil barrels per day by 0.001840131 to obtain the value in litres per second.
Worked example
Convert 10000 bbl/day to L/s.
- 01Start with 10000 bbl/day.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 10000 × 0.001840131 = 18.4013 L/s.
Result10000 bbl/day = 18.4013 L/s

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from bbl/day to L/s?
1 bbl/day equals 0.001840131 L/s. To convert, multiply the value in oil barrels per day by 0.001840131.
How do I convert 1 bbl/day to L/s?
1 bbl/day = 0.00184013 L/s. For any value, multiply by 0.001840131.
How do I convert L/s back to bbl/day?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 543.4397. So 1 L/s = 543.44 bbl/day.
When would I need to convert oil barrel per day to litre per second?
Flow-rate conversions show up in pump curve interpretation, control valve sizing (Cv vs Kv), and aligning vendor specifications with process simulation outputs. bbl/day to L/s is a frequently needed conversion for hydraulic sizing.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
