About Converting Oil barrel per Seconds to Megaliter per Seconds
Oil barrel per Seconds and Megaliter 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
megaliter per seconds = oil barrel per seconds × 0.000158987294928
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 megaliter per seconds equals 1000 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct oil barrel per seconds-to-megaliter per seconds factor of 0.000158987294928.
Simple example
1 bbl/s × 0.0001589872949 = 0.0001589873 ML/s
1 oil barrel per seconds = 0.0001589873 megaliter per seconds.
Real-world example
60 bbl/s × 0.0001589872949 = 0.0095392377 ML/s
60 oil barrel per seconds = 0.0095392377 megaliter per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many megaliter per seconds are in 1 oil barrel per seconds?
1 oil barrel per seconds equals 0.0001589873 megaliter per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert oil barrel per seconds to megaliter per seconds?
Multiply the oil barrel per seconds value by 0.0001589872949. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert megaliter per seconds back to oil barrel per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 megaliter per seconds equals 6,289.81077 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 megaliter per seconds?
Megaliter per Seconds (ML/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the oil barrel per seconds to megaliter per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both oil barrel per seconds and megaliter per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.0001589872949 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.
