About Converting Gallon per Seconds to Oil barrel per Seconds
Gallon per Seconds 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 seconds × 0.0238095238095
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 seconds equals 0.158987294928 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct gallon per seconds-to-oil barrel per seconds factor of 0.0238095238095.
Simple example
1 gal/s × 0.02380952381 = 0.0238095238 bbl/s
1 gallon per seconds = 0.0238095238 oil barrel per seconds.
Real-world example
60 gal/s × 0.02380952381 = 1.428571429 bbl/s
60 gallon per seconds = 1.428571429 oil barrel per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many oil barrel per seconds are in 1 gallon per seconds?
1 gallon per seconds equals 0.0238095238 oil barrel per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert gallon per seconds to oil barrel per seconds?
Multiply the gallon per seconds value by 0.02380952381. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert oil barrel per seconds back to gallon per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 oil barrel per seconds equals 42 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 seconds?
Oil barrel per Seconds (bbl/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the gallon per seconds to oil barrel per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both gallon per seconds and oil barrel per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.02380952381 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.
