About Converting Gallon per Seconds to Oil barrel per Hours
Gallon per Seconds and Oil barrel per Hours 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 hours = gallon per seconds × 85.7142857143
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 gallon per seconds equals 0.003785411784 base units, and 1 oil barrel per hours equals 0.00004416313748 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct gallon per seconds-to-oil barrel per hours factor of 85.7142857143.
Simple example
1 gal/s × 85.71428571 = 85.71428571 bbl/h
1 gallon per seconds = 85.71428571 oil barrel per hours.
Real-world example
60 gal/s × 85.71428571 = 5,142.857143 bbl/h
60 gallon per seconds = 5,142.857143 oil barrel per hours.

How do I convert oil barrel per hours back to gallon per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 oil barrel per hours equals 0.0116666667 gallon per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a gallon per seconds?
Gallon per Seconds (gal/s) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a oil barrel per hours?
Oil barrel per Hours (bbl/h) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the gallon per seconds to oil barrel per hours conversion exact?
Yes. Both gallon per seconds and oil barrel per hours are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 85.71428571 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.
