Convert US barrels per hour to Cubic yards per second
Convert US barrels per hour (bbl/h) to Cubic yards per second (yd³/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
yd³/s = bbl/h × 5.776320302e-5
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 yards per second
The cubic yard per second (yd³/s) equals 0.764554857984 m³/s, a large unit used in US civil engineering for river flood-stage measurements and reservoir emergency-spillway capacity. A major dam spillway releasing water at 1 000 yd³/s could drain an Olympic pool in about 3 seconds. 1 yd³/s = 0.764554857984 m³/s ≈ 764.555 L/s ≈ 27 ft³/s.
