)/Minute [bbl (US)/min]
Barrel per minute (US) [bbl (US)/min] is a unit of volumetric flow rate used in the oil and gas industry to measure the volume of crude oil or petroleum products flowing through a system every minute. One US barrel equals approximately 159 liters, so bbl (US)/min quantifies the number of barrels transferred or produced in sixty seconds. This unit is commonly applied in refineries, pipelines, and large-scale production facilities where rapid monitoring of oil flow is critical. For example, a pipeline transporting 20 bbl (US)/min delivers 20 barrels of oil per minute, allowing operators to manage transportation efficiency and prevent bottlenecks. It is also used in industrial processes to regulate crude or fuel input into refineries, ensuring proper processing rates and system safety. Compared to bbl (US)/h or bbl (US)/d, barrel per minute provides real-time, high-resolution data, enabling immediate adjustments and precise control of operations. Using bbl (US)/min allows engineers, technicians, and managers to measure, monitor, and optimize oil flow, ensuring operational efficiency, safety, and reliability in high-volume energy production and transportation systems.
Pound/Minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) [lb/min]
Pound per minute [lb/min] is a unit of mass flow rate that measures the mass of a substance passing through a system every minute. When specified for gasoline at 15.5°C (approximately 60°F), it accounts for the density of gasoline under standard conditions, about 6.073 lb/gal (0.725 g/cm³). Expressed in lb/min, this unit is widely used in fuel handling, engine testing, and industrial fuel delivery systems where monitoring the mass of fuel over time is important. For example, an engine consuming 120 lb/min of gasoline can be analyzed to optimize fuel injection, improve efficiency, and reduce emissions. In pipelines or storage systems, lb/min allows operators to measure fuel transfer rates, manage inventory, and ensure safe and consistent delivery. Compared to lb/s, pound per minute provides a longer time-scale perspective, suitable for planning, monitoring, and operational reporting. Using lb/min for gasoline at 15.5°C allows engineers, technicians, and operators to track, regulate, and optimize fuel mass flow, ensuring efficient combustion, precise dosing, and reliable performance in automotive, industrial, and energy applications where fuel consistency is critical.
