About Converting Cubic foot per Minutes to Oil barrel per Days
Cubic foot per Minutes and Oil barrel per Days 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. Cubic foot per Minutes is most often used for the standard unit for rating hvac airflow, compressed-air equipment output, and fan/blower performance.
Formula
oil barrel per days = cubic foot per minutes × 256.474953618
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 cubic foot per minutes equals 0.0004719474432 base units, and 1 oil barrel per days equals 0.00000184013072833 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic foot per minutes-to-oil barrel per days factor of 256.474953618.
Simple example
1 ft3/min × 256.4749536 = 256.4749536 bbl/d
1 cubic foot per minutes = 256.4749536 oil barrel per days.
Real-world example
60 ft3/min × 256.4749536 = 15,388.49722 bbl/d
60 cubic foot per minutes = 15,388.49722 oil barrel per days.

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.
