About Kilolitres per day

The kilolitre per day (kL/d) equals 1/86400 ≈ 1.157×10⁻⁵ m³/s, the standard unit for per-household and per-property water-consumption billing in Australia. Sydney Water and other Australian utilities charge tariffs per kL/d consumed; a typical Australian household uses 0.6-1.0 kL/d. 1 kL/d = 1 m³/d ≈ 264.2 US gal/d.

About US barrels per minute

The US barrel per minute (bbl/min) equals 0.158987294928/60 ≈ 2.650×10⁻³ m³/s, used in oil-pipeline pigging operations and tanker loading/unloading rates. A large crude-oil loading arm at a terminal can transfer 20 000 bbl/h = ≈333 bbl/min = ≈52 000 US gal/min. Pipeline operators monitor block-valve isolation in bbl/min to detect ruptures. 1 bbl/min ≈ 2.650×10⁻³ m³/s.
