Volume
Convert oil barrel (bbl) to cubic metre (m³). Volume sizes tanks, vessels, and batch charges, in m³, litres, US gallons, or barrels.
1 bbl = 0.1589873 m³
To convert oil barrel to cubic metre, multiply the bbl value by 0.1589873. To go the other way, divide by 0.1589873 (or multiply by 6.289811).
| bbl | m³ |
|---|---|
| 1 | 0.1589873 |
| 2 | 0.3179746 |
| 5 | 0.7949365 |
| 10 | 1.589873 |
| 25 | 3.974682 |
| 50 | 7.949365 |
| 100 | 15.89873 |
| 250 | 39.74682 |

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 10 m³.
Multiply the value in bbl by 0.1589873 to get m³. For example, 10 bbl = 1.589873 m³.
1 bbl equals 0.1589873 m³.
Tank and vessel capacities are quoted in m³ or US gallons; oil volumes in barrels.
