About Converting Oil barrel per Minutes to Imperial gallon per Seconds
Oil barrel per Minutes 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 minutes × 0.58287192924
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 oil barrel per minutes equals 0.0026497882488 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 minutes-to-imperial gallon per seconds factor of 0.58287192924.
Simple example
1 bbl/min × 0.5828719292 = 0.5828719292 imp gal/s
1 oil barrel per minutes = 0.5828719292 imperial gallon per seconds.
Real-world example
60 bbl/min × 0.5828719292 = 34.97231575 imp gal/s
60 oil barrel per minutes = 34.97231575 imperial gallon per seconds.

What is a oil barrel per minutes?
Oil barrel per Minutes (bbl/min) 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 minutes to imperial gallon per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both oil barrel per minutes and imperial gallon per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.5828719292 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.
