About Converting Gallon per Hours to Oil barrel per Seconds
Gallon 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 = gallon per hours × 0.00000661375661376
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 gallon per hours equals 0.00000105150327333 base units, and 1 oil barrel per seconds equals 0.158987294928 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct gallon per hours-to-oil barrel per seconds factor of 0.00000661375661376.
Simple example
1 gal/h × 0.000006613756614 = 0.0000066138 bbl/s
1 gallon per hours = 0.0000066138 oil barrel per seconds.
Real-world example
60 gal/h × 0.000006613756614 = 0.0003968254 bbl/s
60 gallon per hours = 0.0003968254 oil barrel per seconds.

Multiply the gallon per hours value by 0.000006613756614. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert oil barrel per seconds back to gallon per hours?
Use the reverse factor: 1 oil barrel per seconds equals 151,200 gallon per hours. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a gallon per hours?
Gallon per Hours (gal/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 gallon per hours to oil barrel per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both gallon per hours and oil barrel per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.000006613756614 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.
