Convert Millilitres per hour to US barrels per second
Convert Millilitres per hour (mL/h) to US barrels per second (bbl/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
bbl/s = mL/h × 1.747169658e-9
About Millilitres per hour
The millilitre per hour (mL/h) equals 10⁻⁶/3600 ≈ 2.778×10⁻¹⁰ m³/s, standard for intravenous infusion pumps in clinical medicine and for slow-release laboratory syringe pumps. A 1 L IV bag running over 8 hours is set to 125 mL/h; subcutaneous insulin pumps deliver 1-100 mL/h of dilute insulin. 1 mL/h ≈ 2.778×10⁻¹⁰ 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.
