About Converting Oil barrel per Minutes to Liter per Minutes
Oil barrel per Minutes and Liter per Minutes 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
liter per minutes = oil barrel per minutes × 158.987294928
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 liter per minutes equals 0.0000166666666667 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct oil barrel per minutes-to-liter per minutes factor of 158.987294928.
Simple example
1 bbl/min × 158.9872949 = 158.9872949 L/min
1 oil barrel per minutes = 158.9872949 liter per minutes.
Real-world example
60 bbl/min × 158.9872949 = 9,539.237696 L/min
60 oil barrel per minutes = 9,539.237696 liter per minutes.

Frequently asked questions
How many liter per minutes are in 1 oil barrel per minutes?
1 oil barrel per minutes equals 158.9872949 liter per minutes, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert oil barrel per minutes to liter per minutes?
Multiply the oil barrel per minutes value by 158.9872949. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert liter per minutes back to oil barrel per minutes?
Use the reverse factor: 1 liter per minutes equals 0.0062898108 oil barrel per minutes. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a oil barrel per minutes?
Oil barrel per Minutes (bbl/min) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a liter per minutes?
Liter per Minutes (L/min) measures volumetric flow rate. One liter of volume passing a point every minute. It is classified as a metric derived flow-rate unit.
Is the oil barrel per minutes to liter per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both oil barrel per minutes and liter per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 158.9872949 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.
