Barrels Per Day to GPM Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Gallons Per Minute (GPM) is:

\[ GPM = \frac{\text{bbl/day} \times \text{CF}}{24 \times 60} \]

Where:

\( GPM \) is the gallons per minute
\( \text{bbl/day} \) is the barrels per day
\( \text{CF} \) is the conversion factor (42 gallons per barrel)

Definition

Barrels Per Day (bbl/day): A unit of measurement for the flow rate of liquids, commonly used in the oil and gas industry.
Gallons Per Minute (GPM): A unit of measurement for the flow rate of liquids, indicating how many gallons flow per minute.
Significance: This conversion helps in understanding and managing the flow rates of liquids in different units, making it easier to monitor and control processes in industries such as petroleum refining, water treatment, and chemical manufacturing.

Example

Let's say the barrels per day (bbl/day) is 1000. Using the formula:

\[ GPM = \frac{1000 \times 42}{24 \times 60} = 29.17 \]

So, the Gallons Per Minute (GPM) is 29.17.
