Conversion Gallon per minute(US) to Barrel per hour

To convert gallons per minute to barrels per hour, you must multiply gallons per minute by approximately 1.4286.

To convert a flow rate from gallons per minute (gal/min) to barrels per hour (bbl/hr), you can use the conversion factor that 1 barrel is approximately equal to 42 US gallons. Here's the formula:

$\text{Barrels per hour} = \text{Gallons per minute} \times 60 ÷ 42$

Where:

• 60 converts minutes to hours,

• 42 is the number of gallons in one barrel.

So, you multiply the number of gallons per minute by 60 to get gallons per hour, then divide by 42 to convert gallons per hour to barrels per hour:

$\text{bbl/hr} = ( \text{gal/min} \times 60 ) \mathrm{/} 42$

This conversion helps in industries such as oil where flow rates are often measured in barrels.

How many barrels per hour are 5 gallons per minute?

To find out how many barrels per hour are equivalent to 5 gallons per minute, you can use the conversion formula:

$\text{Barrels per hour} = ( \text{Gallons per minute} \times 60 ) \mathrm{/} 42$

Plugging in 5 gallons per minute:

$\text{Barrels per hour} = ( 5 \text{gal/min} \times 60 ) \mathrm{/} 42 = 7.142857 \text{bbl/hr}$

Thus, 5 gallons per minute is equivalent to approximately 7.14 barrels per hour.

How can I convert 3 gallons per minute to barrels per hour?

To convert 3 gallons per minute to barrels per hour, you can follow this formula based on the relationships between the units:

1. Multiply the gallons per minute by 60 to convert to gallons per hour because there are 60 minutes in an hour.

2. Divide the result by 42 because there are 42 US gallons in a barrel.

Here's the calculation:

$\text{Barrels per hour} = ( \text{3 gal/min} \times 60 \text{ min/hr} ) \mathrm{/} 42 \text{ gal/bbl}$

$\text{Barrels per hour} = \left( 180 \text{ gal/hr} \right) \mathrm{/} 42 \text{ gal/bbl} = 4.2857 \text{ bbl/hr}$

Therefore, 3 gallons per minute is equivalent to approximately 4.29 barrels per hour.
