What is a Barrel?

A barrel is a unit of volume commonly used in the oil industry to measure crude oil and other petroleum products. One barrel is equivalent to 42 US gallons or approximately 159 liters. In this context, the volume of a barrel is converted to cubic meters for the purpose of calculating mass in metric tons.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ MT = 800 \times \left( 100 \times 0.1589873 \right) \div 1000 = 12.72 \text{ metric tons} \]

The Mass in Metric Tons is 12.72 metric tons.
