Formula

Formula
m³/day = bbl/day × 0.1589873

Multiply any value in oil barrels per day by 0.1589873 to obtain the value in cubic metres per day.

Worked example

Convert 1000 bbl/day to m³/day.

  1. 01Start with 1000 bbl/day.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1000 × 0.1589873 = 158.987 m³/day.
Result1000 bbl/day = 158.987 m³/day

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from bbl/day to m³/day?
1 bbl/day equals 0.1589873 m³/day. To convert, multiply the value in oil barrels per day by 0.1589873.
How do I convert 1 bbl/day to m³/day?
1 bbl/day = 0.158987 m³/day. For any value, multiply by 0.1589873.
How do I convert m³/day back to bbl/day?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 6.289811. So 1 m³/day = 6.28981 bbl/day.
When would I need to convert oil barrel per day to cubic metre per day?
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 m³/day is a frequently needed conversion for flow datasheet preparation.
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).
