Cubic Foot/Minute [ft³/min]


Cubic foot per minute [ft³/min] is a unit of volumetric flow rate that measures the volume of fluid or material passing through a system every minute, based on the cubic foot. One cubic foot equals approximately 28.3168 liters. Expressed per minute, ft³/min is widely used in HVAC systems, industrial processes, water distribution, and pneumatic systems where real-time monitoring of moderate to high flow rates is essential. For example, in ventilation systems, an airflow of 500 ft³/min ensures proper circulation and air quality in commercial or industrial buildings. In industrial applications, ft³/min is used to monitor liquid or gas flow through pipelines, ensuring consistent production and process efficiency. It is also applied in water treatment, chemical dosing, and small-scale material handling. Compared to ft³/h, cubic foot per minute provides higher temporal resolution, allowing operators to make immediate adjustments and maintain precise flow control. Using cubic feet per minute enables engineers, technicians, and facility managers to measure, monitor, and optimize volumetric flow, ensuring efficiency, safety, and reliability in industrial, municipal, and building systems.


)/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.
