Volume
Convert cubic metre (m³) to oil barrel (bbl). Volume sizes tanks, vessels, and batch charges, in m³, litres, US gallons, or barrels.
1 m³ = 6.289811 bbl
To convert cubic metre to oil barrel, multiply the m³ value by 6.289811. To go the other way, divide by 6.289811 (or multiply by 0.1589873).

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 10 m³ is 62.89811 bbl.
Multiply the value in m³ by 6.289811 to get bbl. For example, 10 m³ = 62.89811 bbl.
1 m³ equals 6.289811 bbl.
