About Converting Oil barrel per Hours to Cubic foot per Minutes
Oil barrel per Hours and Cubic foot per Minutes 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 minutes = oil barrel per hours × 0.0935763888889
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 minutes equals 0.0004719474432 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct oil barrel per hours-to-cubic foot per minutes factor of 0.0935763888889.
Simple example
1 bbl/h × 0.09357638889 = 0.0935763889 ft3/min
1 oil barrel per hours = 0.0935763889 cubic foot per minutes.
Real-world example
60 bbl/h × 0.09357638889 = 5.614583333 ft3/min
60 oil barrel per hours = 5.614583333 cubic foot per minutes.

Frequently asked questions
How many cubic foot per minutes are in 1 oil barrel per hours?
1 oil barrel per hours equals 0.0935763889 cubic foot per minutes, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert oil barrel per hours to cubic foot per minutes?
Multiply the oil barrel per hours value by 0.09357638889. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cubic foot per minutes back to oil barrel per hours?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic foot per minutes equals 10.6864564 oil barrel per hours. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
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 minutes?
Cubic foot per Minutes (ft3/min) measures volumetric flow rate. One cubic foot of volume passing a point every minute. It is classified as a US customary flow-rate unit.
Is the oil barrel per hours to cubic foot per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both oil barrel per hours and cubic foot per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.09357638889 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.
