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.

Second [bbl (US)/s]

Barrel per second (US) [bbl (US)/s] is a unit of volumetric flow rate used in the oil and gas industry to measure the volume of crude oil or petroleum products passing through a system every second. One US barrel equals approximately 159 liters, so bbl (US)/s quantifies the number of barrels flowing per second, making it suitable for high-volume, large-scale operations. This unit is commonly applied in pipelines, refineries, and emergency release systems where rapid, continuous monitoring of oil flow is essential. For example, a pipeline delivering 2 bbl (US)/s transports two barrels of crude oil every second, allowing engineers to manage system capacity, prevent overloads, and ensure operational safety. It is also used in industrial processes to regulate crude input for high-speed refining and chemical processing. Compared to bbl (US)/min, bbl (US)/h, or bbl (US)/d, barrel per second provides real-time, high-resolution data, enabling immediate adjustments and precise control of massive fluid flows. Using bbl (US)/s allows oil and energy professionals to monitor, manage, and optimize high-volume crude transport, ensuring efficiency, reliability, and safety in critical energy infrastructure and industrial applications.
