Question 1

How do you convert barrels per hour to LPM?

Accepted Answer

Multiply by 2.65 (158.987 L per barrel ÷ 60 min). Example: 5 bbl/hr = 13.25 LPM.

Question 2

What industries use barrels per hour?

Accepted Answer

Oil refining, fuel transfer, chemical processing, and petroleum transportation systems.

Question 3

How does pipe diameter affect flow rate?

Accepted Answer

Flow rate is proportional to the square of diameter. Doubling pipe diameter quadruples potential flow rate at the same pressure.

Question 4

What's the difference between volume and mass flow rate?

Accepted Answer

Volume flow (gallons/min) ignores fluid density. Mass flow (kg/s) accounts for density, important when density changes with temperature or pressure.
