Convert Cubic inches per hour to US barrels per second
Convert Cubic inches per hour (in³/h) to US barrels per second (bbl/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
bbl/s = in³/h × 2.863098101e-8
About Cubic inches per hour
The cubic inch per hour (in³/h) equals 1.6387064×10⁻⁵/3600 ≈ 4.552×10⁻⁹ m³/s, appearing in US oilfield plunger-pump capacity datasheets and slow hydraulic-actuator specifications. It is also used in US ASTM leak-test standards where maximum allowable leakage past a valve seal is expressed in in³/h at rated pressure. 1 in³/h ≈ 4.552×10⁻⁹ m³/s.
About US barrels per second
The US barrel per second (bbl/s) equals 0.158987294928 m³/s, an extremely large flow rate used only for catastrophic spill-rate estimates and very large pipeline surge calculations. The 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill peaked at ≈60 000 bbl/d ≈ 0.000694 bbl/s; major subsea pipeline ruptures may briefly exceed 1 bbl/s during decompression. 1 US bbl/s = 0.158987 m³/s ≈ 158.987 L/s.
