About Converting Gallon per Seconds to Oil barrel per Minutes
Gallon per Seconds 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. Both are volumetric flow rate units.
Formula
oil barrel per minutes = gallon per seconds × 1.42857142857
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 minutes equals 0.0026497882488 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct gallon per seconds-to-oil barrel per minutes factor of 1.42857142857.
Simple example
1 gal/s × 1.428571429 = 1.428571429 bbl/min
1 gallon per seconds = 1.428571429 oil barrel per minutes.
Real-world example
60 gal/s × 1.428571429 = 85.71428571 bbl/min
60 gallon per seconds = 85.71428571 oil barrel per minutes.

Frequently asked questions
How many oil barrel per minutes are in 1 gallon per seconds?
1 gallon per seconds equals 1.428571429 oil barrel per minutes, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert gallon per seconds to oil barrel per minutes?
Multiply the gallon per seconds value by 1.428571429. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert oil barrel per minutes back to gallon per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 oil barrel per minutes equals 0.7 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 minutes?
Oil barrel per Minutes (bbl/min) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the gallon per seconds to oil barrel per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both gallon per seconds and oil barrel per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1.428571429 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.
