Formula

Formula
m³/min = bbl/hr × 0.002649788

Multiply any value in oil barrels per hour by 0.002649788 to obtain the value in cubic metres per minute.

Worked example

Convert 100 bbl/hr to m³/min.

  1. 01Start with 100 bbl/hr.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 100 × 0.002649788 = 0.264979 m³/min.
Result100 bbl/hr = 0.264979 m³/min

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from bbl/hr to m³/min?
1 bbl/hr equals 0.002649788 m³/min. To convert, multiply the value in oil barrels per hour by 0.002649788.
How do I convert 1 bbl/hr to m³/min?
1 bbl/hr = 0.00264979 m³/min. For any value, multiply by 0.002649788.
How do I convert m³/min back to bbl/hr?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 377.3886. So 1 m³/min = 377.389 bbl/hr.
When would I need to convert oil barrel per hour to cubic metre per minute?
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 m³/min 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).
