Conversion Formula
L/h = bbl/h × 158.9872949
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 Litres per hour
The litre per hour (L/h) equals 10⁻³/3600 ≈ 2.778×10⁻⁷ m³/s, widely used in automotive fuel consumption (L/h), irrigation drip systems, and small pump specifications. A fuel cell vehicle running on hydrogen consumes ±2 L/h of liquid equivalent; a domestic water softener regeneration cycle uses 40-100 L/h of brine. 1 L/h ≈ 2.778×10⁻⁷ m³/s ≈ 0.2642 US gal/h.
