FAQ

What is the conversion factor from bbl/hr to ft³/hr?
1 bbl/hr equals 5.614583 ft³/hr. To convert, multiply the value in oil barrels per hour by 5.614583.
How do I convert 1 bbl/hr to ft³/hr?
1 bbl/hr = 5.61458 ft³/hr. For any value, multiply by 5.614583.
How do I convert ft³/hr back to bbl/hr?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.1781076. So 1 ft³/hr = 0.178108 bbl/hr.
When would I need to convert oil barrel per hour to cubic foot per hour?
Flow-rate conversions show up in pump curve interpretation, control valve sizing (Cv vs Kv), and aligning vendor specifications with process simulation outputs. bbl/hr to ft³/hr 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).
