About Converting Imperial gallon per Minutes to Oil barrel per Seconds
Imperial gallon 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 = imperial gallon per minutes × 0.000476567430756
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 imperial gallon per minutes equals 0.0000757681666667 base units, and 1 oil barrel per seconds equals 0.158987294928 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct imperial gallon per minutes-to-oil barrel per seconds factor of 0.000476567430756.
Simple example
1 imp gal/min × 0.0004765674308 = 0.0004765674 bbl/s
1 imperial gallon per minutes = 0.0004765674 oil barrel per seconds.
Real-world example
60 imp gal/min × 0.0004765674308 = 0.0285940459 bbl/s
60 imperial gallon per minutes = 0.0285940459 oil barrel per seconds.

How do I convert oil barrel per seconds back to imperial gallon per minutes?
Use the reverse factor: 1 oil barrel per seconds equals 2,098.338945 imperial gallon per minutes. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a imperial gallon per minutes?
Imperial gallon per Minutes (imp gal/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 imperial gallon per minutes to oil barrel per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both imperial gallon per minutes and oil barrel per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.0004765674308 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.
