Volumetric flow
Convert cubic metre per second (m³/s) 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/s = 543439.7 bbl/day
To convert cubic metre per second to oil barrel per day, multiply the m³/s value by 543439.7. To go the other way, divide by 543439.7 (or multiply by 1.8401e-6).
| m³/s | bbl/day |
|---|---|
| 1 | 543439.7 |
| 2 | 1086879 |
| 5 | 2717198 |
| 10 | 5434397 |
| 25 | 1.3586e+7 |
| 50 | 2.7172e+7 |
| 100 | 5.4344e+7 |
| 250 | 1.3586e+8 |
| 500 | 2.7172e+8 |
| 1000 | 5.4344e+8 |
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 1 m³/s is 543439.7 bbl/day.
Multiply the value in m³/s by 543439.7 to get bbl/day. For example, 10 m³/s = 5434397 bbl/day.
1 m³/s equals 543439.7 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.
