FAQ

What is the conversion factor from ft³/min to bbl/hr?
1 ft³/min equals 10.68646 bbl/hr. To convert, multiply the value in cubic feet per minute by 10.68646.
How do I convert 1 ft³/min to bbl/hr?
1 ft³/min = 10.6865 bbl/hr. For any value, multiply by 10.68646.
How do I convert bbl/hr back to ft³/min?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.09357639. So 1 bbl/hr = 0.0935764 ft³/min.
When would I need to convert cubic foot per minute to oil barrel 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. ft³/min to bbl/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).
