About Converting Oil barrels per Millisecond to Gallons per Millisecond
Oil barrel per Millisecond and Gallon per Millisecond 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
gallons per millisecond = oil barrels per millisecond × 42
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 oil barrel per millisecond equals 158.987294928 base units, and 1 gallon per millisecond equals 3.785411784 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct oil barrel per millisecond-to-gallon per millisecond factor of 42.
Simple example
1 bbl/ms × 42 = 42 gal/ms
1 oil barrel per millisecond = 42 gallons per millisecond.
Real-world example
60 bbl/ms × 42 = 2,520 gal/ms
60 oil barrels per millisecond = 2,520 gallons per millisecond.

Frequently asked questions
How many gallons per millisecond are in 1 oil barrel per millisecond?
1 oil barrel per millisecond equals 42 gallons per millisecond, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert oil barrel per millisecond to gallon per millisecond?
Multiply the oil barrel per millisecond value by 42. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert gallon per millisecond back to oil barrel per millisecond?
Use the reverse factor: 1 gallon per millisecond equals 0.0238095238 oil barrels per millisecond. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a oil barrel per millisecond?
Oil barrel per Millisecond (bbl/ms) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a gallon per millisecond?
Gallon per Millisecond (gal/ms) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the oil barrel per millisecond to gallon per millisecond conversion exact?
Yes. Both oil barrel per millisecond and gallon per millisecond are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 42 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.
