Convert US barrels per hour (bbl/h) to Cubic feet per hour (ft³/h) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
ft³/h = bbl/h × 5.614583333
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.
About Cubic feet per hour
The cubic foot per hour (ft³/h) equals 0.028316846592/3600 ≈ 7.866×10⁻⁶ m³/s, used in US natural-gas metering (residential gas meters read in cubic feet; billing converts to CCF = 100 ft³) and historical furnace-fuel-consumption tables. A US residential gas furnace consumes 80-200 ft³/h of natural gas at full fire. 1 ft³/h ≈ 7.866×10⁻⁶ m³/s.
