About Converting Oil barrel per Hours to Quart per Seconds
Oil barrel per Hours and Quart 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
quart per seconds = oil barrel per hours × 0.0466666666667
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 quart per seconds equals 0.000946352946 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct oil barrel per hours-to-quart per seconds factor of 0.0466666666667.
Simple example
1 bbl/h × 0.04666666667 = 0.0466666667 qt/s
1 oil barrel per hours = 0.0466666667 quart per seconds.
Real-world example
60 bbl/h × 0.04666666667 = 2.8 qt/s
60 oil barrel per hours = 2.8 quart per seconds.

Multiply the oil barrel per hours value by 0.04666666667. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert quart per seconds back to oil barrel per hours?
Use the reverse factor: 1 quart per seconds equals 21.42857143 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 quart per seconds?
Quart per Seconds (qt/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the oil barrel per hours to quart per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both oil barrel per hours and quart per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.04666666667 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.
