About Converting Oil barrel per Seconds to Imperial gallon per Seconds
Oil barrel per Seconds 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 seconds × 34.9723157544
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 imperial gallon per seconds equals 0.00454609 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct oil barrel per seconds-to-imperial gallon per seconds factor of 34.9723157544.
Simple example
1 bbl/s × 34.97231575 = 34.97231575 imp gal/s
1 oil barrel per seconds = 34.97231575 imperial gallon per seconds.
Real-world example
60 bbl/s × 34.97231575 = 2,098.338945 imp gal/s
60 oil barrel per seconds = 2,098.338945 imperial gallon per seconds.

How do I convert imperial gallon per seconds back to oil barrel per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 imperial gallon per seconds equals 0.0285940459 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 imperial gallon per seconds?
Imperial gallon per Seconds (imp gal/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the oil barrel per seconds to imperial gallon per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both oil barrel per seconds and imperial gallon per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 34.97231575 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.
