Formula

Formula
bbl/hr = L/hr × 0.006289811

Multiply any value in litres per hour by 0.006289811 to obtain the value in oil barrels per hour.

Worked example

Convert 1000 L/hr to bbl/hr.

  1. 01Start with 1000 L/hr.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1000 × 0.006289811 = 6.28981 bbl/hr.
Result1000 L/hr = 6.28981 bbl/hr

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from L/hr to bbl/hr?
1 L/hr equals 0.006289811 bbl/hr. To convert, multiply the value in litres per hour by 0.006289811.
How do I convert 1 L/hr to bbl/hr?
1 L/hr = 0.00628981 bbl/hr. For any value, multiply by 0.006289811.
How do I convert bbl/hr back to L/hr?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 158.9873. So 1 bbl/hr = 158.987 L/hr.
When would I need to convert litre per hour 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. L/hr 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).
