About Converting Oil barrel per Hours to Imperial gallon per Seconds
Oil barrel per Hours and Imperial 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
imperial gallon per seconds = oil barrel per hours × 0.009714532154
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 imperial gallon per seconds equals 0.00454609 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct oil barrel per hours-to-imperial gallon per seconds factor of 0.009714532154.
Simple example
1 bbl/h × 0.009714532154 = 0.0097145322 imp gal/s
1 oil barrel per hours = 0.0097145322 imperial gallon per seconds.
Real-world example
60 bbl/h × 0.009714532154 = 0.5828719292 imp gal/s
60 oil barrel per hours = 0.5828719292 imperial gallon per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many imperial gallon per seconds are in 1 oil barrel per hours?
1 oil barrel per hours equals 0.0097145322 imperial gallon per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert oil barrel per hours to imperial gallon per seconds?
Multiply the oil barrel per hours value by 0.009714532154. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert imperial gallon per seconds back to oil barrel per hours?
Use the reverse factor: 1 imperial gallon per seconds equals 102.938565 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 imperial gallon per seconds?
Imperial gallon per Seconds (imp gal/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the oil barrel per hours to imperial gallon per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both oil barrel per hours and imperial gallon per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.009714532154 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.
