About Converting Kiloliter per Minutes to Oil barrel per Minutes
Kiloliter 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. Both are volumetric flow rate units.
Formula
oil barrel per minutes = kiloliter per minutes × 6.28981077043
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 kiloliter per minutes equals 0.0166666666667 base units, and 1 oil barrel per minutes equals 0.0026497882488 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct kiloliter per minutes-to-oil barrel per minutes factor of 6.28981077043.
Simple example
1 kL/min × 6.28981077 = 6.28981077 bbl/min
1 kiloliter per minutes = 6.28981077 oil barrel per minutes.
Real-world example
60 kL/min × 6.28981077 = 377.3886462 bbl/min
60 kiloliter per minutes = 377.3886462 oil barrel per minutes.

How do I convert oil barrel per minutes back to kiloliter per minutes?
Use the reverse factor: 1 oil barrel per minutes equals 0.1589872949 kiloliter per minutes. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a kiloliter per minutes?
Kiloliter per Minutes (kL/min) 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 kiloliter per minutes to oil barrel per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both kiloliter per minutes and oil barrel per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 6.28981077 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.
