About Converting Oil barrel per Seconds to Kiloliter per Minutes
Oil barrel per Seconds and Kiloliter 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
kiloliter per minutes = oil barrel per seconds × 9.53923769568
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 minutes equals 0.0166666666667 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct oil barrel per seconds-to-kiloliter per minutes factor of 9.53923769568.
Simple example
1 bbl/s × 9.539237696 = 9.539237696 kL/min
1 oil barrel per seconds = 9.539237696 kiloliter per minutes.
Real-world example
60 bbl/s × 9.539237696 = 572.3542617 kL/min
60 oil barrel per seconds = 572.3542617 kiloliter per minutes.

How do I convert kiloliter per minutes back to oil barrel per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 kiloliter per minutes equals 0.1048301795 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 minutes?
Kiloliter per Minutes (kL/min) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the oil barrel per seconds to kiloliter per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both oil barrel per seconds and kiloliter per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 9.539237696 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.
