Volume
Convert oil barrel (bbl) to cubic foot (ft³). Volume sizes tanks, vessels, and batch charges, in m³, litres, US gallons, or barrels.
1 bbl = 5.614583 ft³
To convert oil barrel to cubic foot, multiply the bbl value by 5.614583. To go the other way, divide by 5.614583 (or multiply by 0.1781076).

Tank and vessel capacities are quoted in m³ or US gallons; oil volumes in barrels.
A US gallon and an Imperial gallon differ by about 20 % — confirm which one a spec means.
Worked example. A volume of 62.89811 bbl is 353.1467 ft³.
Multiply the value in bbl by 5.614583 to get ft³. For example, 10 bbl = 56.14583 ft³.
1 bbl equals 5.614583 ft³.
