Formula
Formula
L/s = bbl/hr × 0.04416314
Multiply any value in oil barrels per hour by 0.04416314 to obtain the value in litres per second.
Worked example
Convert 100 bbl/hr to L/s.
- 01Start with 100 bbl/hr.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 100 × 0.04416314 = 4.41631 L/s.
Result100 bbl/hr = 4.41631 L/s

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from bbl/hr to L/s?
1 bbl/hr equals 0.04416314 L/s. To convert, multiply the value in oil barrels per hour by 0.04416314.
How do I convert 1 bbl/hr to L/s?
1 bbl/hr = 0.0441631 L/s. For any value, multiply by 0.04416314.
How do I convert L/s back to bbl/hr?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 22.64332. So 1 L/s = 22.6433 bbl/hr.
When would I need to convert oil barrel per hour 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/hr 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).
