About Converting Oil barrel per Hours to Cubic yard per Seconds
Oil barrel per Hours and Cubic yard 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
cubic yard per seconds = oil barrel per hours × 0.0000577632030178
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 yard per seconds equals 0.764554857984 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct oil barrel per hours-to-cubic yard per seconds factor of 0.0000577632030178.
Simple example
1 bbl/h × 0.00005776320302 = 0.0000577632 yd3/s
1 oil barrel per hours = 0.0000577632 cubic yard per seconds.
Real-world example
60 bbl/h × 0.00005776320302 = 0.0034657922 yd3/s
60 oil barrel per hours = 0.0034657922 cubic yard per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many cubic yard per seconds are in 1 oil barrel per hours?
1 oil barrel per hours equals 0.0000577632 cubic yard per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert oil barrel per hours to cubic yard per seconds?
Multiply the oil barrel per hours value by 0.00005776320302. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cubic yard per seconds back to oil barrel per hours?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic yard per seconds equals 17,312.05937 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 yard per seconds?
Cubic yard per Seconds (yd3/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the oil barrel per hours to cubic yard per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both oil barrel per hours and cubic yard per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.00005776320302 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.
