About Converting Oil barrel per Seconds to Cubic feet per Millisecond
Oil barrel per Seconds and Cubic foot 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 feet per millisecond = oil barrel per seconds × 0.00561458333333
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 foot per millisecond equals 28.316846592 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct oil barrel per seconds-to-cubic foot per millisecond factor of 0.00561458333333.
Simple example
1 bbl/s × 0.005614583333 = 0.0056145833 ft3/ms
1 oil barrel per seconds = 0.0056145833 cubic feet per millisecond.
Real-world example
60 bbl/s × 0.005614583333 = 0.336875 ft3/ms
60 oil barrel per seconds = 0.336875 cubic feet per millisecond.

Frequently asked questions
How many cubic feet per millisecond are in 1 oil barrel per seconds?
1 oil barrel per seconds equals 0.0056145833 cubic feet per millisecond, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert oil barrel per seconds to cubic foot per millisecond?
Multiply the oil barrel per seconds value by 0.005614583333. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cubic foot per millisecond back to oil barrel per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic foot per millisecond equals 178.1076067 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 foot per millisecond?
Cubic foot per Millisecond (ft3/ms) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the oil barrel per seconds to cubic foot per millisecond conversion exact?
Yes. Both oil barrel per seconds and cubic foot per millisecond are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.005614583333 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.
