Convert US barrels per hour to Cubic inches per second
Convert US barrels per hour (bbl/h) to Cubic inches per second (in³/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
in³/s = bbl/h × 2.695
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 inches per second
The cubic inch per second (in³/s) equals 1.6387064×10⁻⁵ m³/s, used in US automotive engineering for engine displacement sweep rate, fuel-injector calibration, and hydraulic actuator speed specifications. An engine injector delivering 15 in³/s of fuel corresponds to roughly 15.5 mL/s; hydraulic jacks in US equipment are rated in in³/s at operating pressure. 1 in³/s ≈ 1.639×10⁻⁵ m³/s = 0.016387 L/s.
