Formula

Formula
m³/s = bbl/day × 1.840131e-6

Multiply any value in oil barrels per day by 1.840131e-6 to obtain the value in cubic metres per second.

Worked example

Convert 100000 bbl/day to m³/s.

  1. 01Start with 100000 bbl/day.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 100000 × 1.840131e-6 = 0.184013 m³/s.
Result100000 bbl/day = 0.184013 m³/s

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from bbl/day to m³/s?
1 bbl/day equals 1.840131e-6 m³/s. To convert, multiply the value in oil barrels per day by 1.840131e-6.
How do I convert 1 bbl/day to m³/s?
1 bbl/day = 1.84013e-6 m³/s. For any value, multiply by 1.840131e-6.
How do I convert m³/s back to bbl/day?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 543439.7. So 1 m³/s = 543440 bbl/day.
When would I need to convert oil barrel per day to cubic metre 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 m³/s 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).
