About Converting Gallon per Minutes to Oil barrel per Minutes
Gallon per Minutes and Oil barrel per Minutes 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. Gallon per Minutes is most often used for us residential and commercial plumbing fixture flow ratings.
Formula
oil barrel per minutes = gallon per minutes × 0.0238095238095
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 gallon per minutes equals 0.0000630901964 base units, and 1 oil barrel per minutes equals 0.0026497882488 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct gallon per minutes-to-oil barrel per minutes factor of 0.0238095238095.
Simple example
1 gal/min × 0.02380952381 = 0.0238095238 bbl/min
1 gallon per minutes = 0.0238095238 oil barrel per minutes.
Real-world example
60 gal/min × 0.02380952381 = 1.428571429 bbl/min
60 gallon per minutes = 1.428571429 oil barrel per minutes.

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.
