About Converting Oil barrels per Fortnight to Gallon per Seconds
Oil barrel per Fortnight and Gallon per Seconds both measure volumetric flow rate — how much volume passes a point over time — used to size pipes and pumps, monitor river or stream discharge, control industrial processes, and set medical infusion rates. Both are volumetric flow rate units.
Formula
gallon per seconds = oil barrels per fortnight × 0.0000347222222222
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 oil barrel per fortnight equals 1.314379e-7 base units, and 1 gallon per seconds equals 0.003785411784 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct oil barrel per fortnight-to-gallon per seconds factor of 0.0000347222222222.
Simple example
1 bbl/fn × 0.00003472222222 = 0.0000347222 gal/s
1 oil barrel per fortnight = 0.0000347222 gallon per seconds.
Real-world example
60 bbl/fn × 0.00003472222222 = 0.0020833333 gal/s
60 oil barrels per fortnight = 0.0020833333 gallon per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many gallon per seconds are in 1 oil barrel per fortnight?
1 oil barrel per fortnight equals 0.0000347222 gallon per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert oil barrel per fortnight to gallon per seconds?
Multiply the oil barrel per fortnight value by 0.00003472222222. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert gallon per seconds back to oil barrel per fortnight?
Use the reverse factor: 1 gallon per seconds equals 28,800 oil barrels per fortnight. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a oil barrel per fortnight?
Oil barrel per Fortnight (bbl/fn) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a gallon per seconds?
Gallon per Seconds (gal/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the oil barrel per fortnight to gallon per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both oil barrel per fortnight and gallon per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.00003472222222 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between volumetric and mass flow rate?
Volumetric flow rate measures the volume of fluid passing a point per unit time (for example, liters per second). Mass flow rate measures the mass instead. For a fluid of constant density the two are directly proportional, but for compressible fluids like gases, mass flow is often the more meaningful quantity.
