Volumetric flow
Convert cubic metre per hour (m³/h) to oil barrel per day (bbl/day). Volumetric flow rate is the volume of fluid passing a point per unit time — the basis for line sizing, pump duty, and instrument ranging.
1 m³/h = 150.9555 bbl/day
To convert cubic metre per hour to oil barrel per day, multiply the m³/h value by 150.9555. To go the other way, divide by 150.9555 (or multiply by 0.006624471).
| m³/h | bbl/day |
|---|---|
| 1 | 150.9555 |
| 2 | 301.9109 |
| 5 | 754.7773 |
| 10 | 1509.555 |
| 25 | 3773.887 |
| 50 | 7547.773 |
| 100 | 15095.55 |
| 250 | 37738.87 |
| 500 | 75477.73 |
| 1000 | 150955.5 |
Pump and line duties are quoted in m³/h or US gpm; instrument and utility flows often in L/min or ft³/s.
Volumetric flow depends on temperature and pressure for gases — convert on the same basis (actual vs standard) to avoid errors.
Worked example. A flow rate of 3600 m³/h is 543439.7 bbl/day.
Multiply the value in m³/h by 150.9555 to get bbl/day. For example, 10 m³/h = 1509.555 bbl/day.
1 m³/h equals 150.9555 bbl/day.
Pump and line duties are quoted in m³/h or US gpm; instrument and utility flows often in L/min or ft³/s.
