About Converting Cubic foot per Hours to Oil barrel per Seconds
Cubic foot per Hours and Oil barrel 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
oil barrel per seconds = cubic foot per hours × 0.0000494743351886
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 cubic foot per hours equals 0.00000786579072 base units, and 1 oil barrel per seconds equals 0.158987294928 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic foot per hours-to-oil barrel per seconds factor of 0.0000494743351886.
Simple example
1 ft3/h × 0.00004947433519 = 0.0000494743 bbl/s
1 cubic foot per hours = 0.0000494743 oil barrel per seconds.
Real-world example
60 ft3/h × 0.00004947433519 = 0.0029684601 bbl/s
60 cubic foot per hours = 0.0029684601 oil barrel per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many oil barrel per seconds are in 1 cubic foot per hours?
1 cubic foot per hours equals 0.0000494743 oil barrel per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert cubic foot per hours to oil barrel per seconds?
Multiply the cubic foot per hours value by 0.00004947433519. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert oil barrel per seconds back to cubic foot per hours?
Use the reverse factor: 1 oil barrel per seconds equals 20,212.5 cubic foot per hours. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a cubic foot per hours?
Cubic foot per Hours (ft3/h) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a oil barrel per seconds?
Oil barrel per Seconds (bbl/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the cubic foot per hours to oil barrel per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both cubic foot per hours and oil barrel per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.00004947433519 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.
