Convert US barrels per hour to Microlitres per second
Convert US barrels per hour (bbl/h) to Microlitres per second (µL/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
µL/s = bbl/h × 44163.13748
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 Microlitres per second
The microlitre per second (µL/s) equals 10⁻⁹ m³/s, the working range of microfluidic lab-on-a-chip devices and nano-HPLC pumps. Organ-on-a-chip perfusion bioreactors, droplet microfluidic systems, and capillary electrophoresis instruments operate at 0.1-100 µL/s. A syringe pump delivering 0.36 mL/h produces exactly 0.1 µL/s. 1 µL/s = 10⁻⁹ m³/s = 60 µL/min.
