Conversion Formula
gph = bbl/s × 151200
About US barrels per second
The US barrel per second (bbl/s) equals 0.158987294928 m³/s, an extremely large flow rate used only for catastrophic spill-rate estimates and very large pipeline surge calculations. The 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill peaked at ≈60 000 bbl/d ≈ 0.000694 bbl/s; major subsea pipeline ruptures may briefly exceed 1 bbl/s during decompression. 1 US bbl/s = 0.158987 m³/s ≈ 158.987 L/s.
About US gallons per hour
The US gallon per hour (gph) equals 3.785411784×10⁻³/3600 ≈ 1.051×10⁻⁶ m³/s, common in oil-burner nozzle ratings, water-softener regeneration, and RV/marine-plumbing specifications. Residential oil-burner nozzles are rated in gph (e.g., 0.75 gph, 1.00 gph); a small boat bilge pump might handle 200-500 gph. 1 US gph ≈ 1.052×10⁻⁶ m³/s ≈ 3.785 L/h.
