About Converting Oil barrel per Hours to Cubic foot per Hours
Oil barrel per Hours and Cubic foot per Hours 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
cubic foot per hours = oil barrel per hours × 5.61458333333
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 oil barrel per hours equals 0.00004416313748 base units, and 1 cubic foot per hours equals 0.00000786579072 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct oil barrel per hours-to-cubic foot per hours factor of 5.61458333333.
Simple example
1 bbl/h × 5.614583333 = 5.614583333 ft3/h
1 oil barrel per hours = 5.614583333 cubic foot per hours.
Real-world example
60 bbl/h × 5.614583333 = 336.875 ft3/h
60 oil barrel per hours = 336.875 cubic foot per hours.

What is a oil barrel per hours?
Oil barrel per Hours (bbl/h) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a cubic foot per hours?
Cubic foot per Hours (ft3/h) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the oil barrel per hours to cubic foot per hours conversion exact?
Yes. Both oil barrel per hours and cubic foot per hours are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 5.614583333 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.
