About Converting Oil barrel per Seconds to Kiloliter per Hours
Oil barrel per Seconds and Kiloliter per Hours 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
kiloliter per hours = oil barrel per seconds × 572.354261741
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 kiloliter per hours equals 0.000277777777778 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct oil barrel per seconds-to-kiloliter per hours factor of 572.354261741.
Simple example
1 bbl/s × 572.3542617 = 572.3542617 kL/h
1 oil barrel per seconds = 572.3542617 kiloliter per hours.
Real-world example
60 bbl/s × 572.3542617 = 34,341.2557 kL/h
60 oil barrel per seconds = 34,341.2557 kiloliter per hours.

How do I convert kiloliter per hours back to oil barrel per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 kiloliter per hours equals 0.0017471697 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 kiloliter per hours?
Kiloliter per Hours (kL/h) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the oil barrel per seconds to kiloliter per hours conversion exact?
Yes. Both oil barrel per seconds and kiloliter per hours are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 572.3542617 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.
