Convert US gallons per second to US barrels per hour
Convert US gallons per second (gal/s) to US barrels per hour (bbl/h) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
bbl/h = gal/s × 85.71428571
About US gallons per second
The US gallon per second (gal/s) equals 3.785411784×10⁻³ m³/s, used for very large pump discharge rates and fire-suppression deluge systems. A large centrifugal fire pump rated 1 500 US gal/min delivers exactly 25 US gal/s; industrial cooling-tower makeup lines are sized in gal/s at peak demand. 1 US gal/s = 3.785411784×10⁻³ m³/s = 60 US gal/min ≈ 227.1 L/min.
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.
