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 Millilitres per minute

The millilitre per minute (mL/min) equals 10⁻⁶/60 ≈ 1.667×10⁻⁸ m³/s, the standard flow rate unit for HPLC and preparative chromatography. A reverse-phase HPLC column (4.6 mm i.d.) operates at 1-2 mL/min; a cardiac output catheter measures 4 000-8 000 mL/min (= L/min). 1 mL/min ≈ 1.667×10⁻⁸ m³/s = 60 mL/h.
