bbl/s = fl oz/h × 5.166997354e-8
About US fluid ounces per hour
The US fluid ounce per hour (fl oz/h) equals 3.785411784×10⁻³/128/3600 ≈ 8.215×10⁻⁹ m³/s, used in low-flow medical devices and slow-infusion clinical equipment. A nasal cannula oxygen humidifier delivers humidity at 10-50 fl oz/h of water vapour equivalent; micro-dosing chemical feed pumps for water treatment are calibrated in fl oz/h in US systems. 1 fl oz/h ≈ 8.215×10⁻⁹ m³/s.
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.
