About Converting Oil barrel per Seconds to Liters per Millisecond
Oil barrel per Seconds and Liter 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
liters per millisecond = oil barrel per seconds × 0.158987294928
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 liter per millisecond equals 1 base unit, so dividing one by the other gives the direct oil barrel per seconds-to-liter per millisecond factor of 0.158987294928.
Simple example
1 bbl/s × 0.1589872949 = 0.1589872949 L/ms
1 oil barrel per seconds = 0.1589872949 liters per millisecond.
Real-world example
60 bbl/s × 0.1589872949 = 9.539237696 L/ms
60 oil barrel per seconds = 9.539237696 liters per millisecond.

Frequently asked questions
How many liters per millisecond are in 1 oil barrel per seconds?
1 oil barrel per seconds equals 0.1589872949 liters per millisecond, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert oil barrel per seconds to liter per millisecond?
Multiply the oil barrel per seconds value by 0.1589872949. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert liter per millisecond back to oil barrel per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 liter per millisecond equals 6.28981077 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 liter per millisecond?
Liter per Millisecond (L/ms) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the oil barrel per seconds to liter per millisecond conversion exact?
Yes. Both oil barrel per seconds and liter per millisecond are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.1589872949 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.
