Convert Cubic inches per minute to US barrels per hour
Convert Cubic inches per minute (in³/min) to US barrels per hour (bbl/h) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
bbl/h = in³/min × 0.006184291899
About Cubic inches per minute
The cubic inch per minute (in³/min) equals 1.6387064×10⁻⁵/60 ≈ 2.731×10⁻⁷ m³/s, common in US pneumatic and hydraulic circuit design. Air-tool consumption is rated in SCIM (standard cubic inches per minute); small hydraulic cylinders advancing at 10 in/min with 1 in² bore consume 10 in³/min: exactly 0.163 mL/s. 1 in³/min ≈ 2.731×10⁻⁷ m³/s.
About US barrels per hour
The US barrel per hour (bbl/h) equals 0.158987294928/3600 ≈ 4.416×10⁻⁵ m³/s, standard in petroleum-refinery process engineering for crude-oil unit feed rates and product run-downs. Crude-distillation unit (CDU) feed is sized in bbl/h; a 100 000 bbl/d refinery processes ≈4 167 bbl/h. Process simulation software (Aspen HYSYS) uses bbl/h by default for petroleum streams. 1 bbl/h ≈ 4.416×10⁻⁵ m³/s.
