FAQ

What is the conversion factor from IGal/min to bbl/hr?
1 IGal/min equals 1.715643 bbl/hr. To convert, multiply the value in Imperial gallons per minute by 1.715643.
How do I convert 1 IGal/min to bbl/hr?
1 IGal/min = 1.71564 bbl/hr. For any value, multiply by 1.715643.
How do I convert bbl/hr back to IGal/min?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.5828719. So 1 bbl/hr = 0.582872 IGal/min.
When would I need to convert Imperial gallon 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. IGal/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).
