Formula

Formula
bbl/hr = L/min × 0.3773886

Multiply any value in litres per minute by 0.3773886 to obtain the value in oil barrels per hour.

Worked example

Convert 10 L/min to bbl/hr.

  1. 01Start with 10 L/min.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 10 × 0.3773886 = 3.77389 bbl/hr.
Result10 L/min = 3.77389 bbl/hr

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from L/min to bbl/hr?
1 L/min equals 0.3773886 bbl/hr. To convert, multiply the value in litres per minute by 0.3773886.
How do I convert 1 L/min to bbl/hr?
1 L/min = 0.377389 bbl/hr. For any value, multiply by 0.3773886.
How do I convert bbl/hr back to L/min?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 2.649788. So 1 bbl/hr = 2.64979 L/min.
When would I need to convert litre 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. L/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).
