About Converting Cubic Meter per Minutes to Oil barrel per Seconds
Cubic Meter per Minutes 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 meter per minutes × 0.104830179507
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 cubic meter per minutes equals 0.0166666666667 base units, and 1 oil barrel per seconds equals 0.158987294928 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic meter per minutes-to-oil barrel per seconds factor of 0.104830179507.
Simple example
1 m3/min × 0.1048301795 = 0.1048301795 bbl/s
1 cubic meter per minutes = 0.1048301795 oil barrel per seconds.
Real-world example
60 m3/min × 0.1048301795 = 6.28981077 bbl/s
60 cubic meter per minutes = 6.28981077 oil barrel per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many oil barrel per seconds are in 1 cubic meter per minutes?
1 cubic meter per minutes equals 0.1048301795 oil barrel per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert cubic meter per minutes to oil barrel per seconds?
Multiply the cubic meter per minutes value by 0.1048301795. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert oil barrel per seconds back to cubic meter per minutes?
Use the reverse factor: 1 oil barrel per seconds equals 9.539237696 cubic meter per minutes. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a cubic meter per minutes?
Cubic Meter per Minutes (m3/min) 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 meter per minutes to oil barrel per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both cubic meter per minutes and oil barrel per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.1048301795 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.
