About Converting Oil barrel per Seconds to Cubic Centimeters per Millisecond
Oil barrel per Seconds and Cubic Centimeter 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
cubic centimeters per millisecond = oil barrel per seconds × 158.987294928
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 oil barrel per seconds equals 0.158987294928 base units, and 1 cubic centimeter per millisecond equals 0.001 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct oil barrel per seconds-to-cubic centimeter per millisecond factor of 158.987294928.
Simple example
1 bbl/s × 158.9872949 = 158.9872949 cm3/ms
1 oil barrel per seconds = 158.9872949 cubic centimeters per millisecond.
Real-world example
60 bbl/s × 158.9872949 = 9,539.237696 cm3/ms
60 oil barrel per seconds = 9,539.237696 cubic centimeters per millisecond.

Frequently asked questions
How many cubic centimeters per millisecond are in 1 oil barrel per seconds?
1 oil barrel per seconds equals 158.9872949 cubic centimeters per millisecond, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert oil barrel per seconds to cubic centimeter per millisecond?
Multiply the oil barrel per seconds value by 158.9872949. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cubic centimeter per millisecond back to oil barrel per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic centimeter per millisecond equals 0.0062898108 oil barrel per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a oil barrel per seconds?
Oil barrel per Seconds (bbl/s) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a cubic centimeter per millisecond?
Cubic Centimeter per Millisecond (cm3/ms) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the oil barrel per seconds to cubic centimeter per millisecond conversion exact?
Yes. Both oil barrel per seconds and cubic centimeter per millisecond 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.
