About this conversion
This page converts oil barrels per hour (bbl/h) into cubic meters per second (m3/s), two units of volumetric flow rate.
The Oil Barrel (bbl) is a unit of volume. The Hour (h) is a unit of time.
The Cubic Meter (m3) is a unit of volume. The Second (s) is a unit of time.
The formula is m3/s = bbl/h × 4.41631e-5, based on the fixed relationship between these two flow rate units.
Flow rate is calculated as a volume unit divided by a time unit, so every combination of a volume unit and a time unit forms a valid, exact flow rate unit.
