One liter per hour is exactly 0.1509554585 barrels per day, so converting liters per hour to barrels per day is a single multiplication. Enter any figure and the result appears as you type — the arithmetic runs in your browser, so nothing is sent anywhere.
The rating unit for dosing pumps, drip irrigation and small boilers. The unit oil production is reported in worldwide.
Standard versus actual volume. Gas flow in CFM depends on pressure and temperature, which is why compressor ratings say SCFM and specify the reference conditions. Converting the number is exact; comparing two ratings measured at different conditions is not. Two tables follow: rounded steps for quick lookup, and a set of real reference quantities converted into barrels per day, which is usually more useful than the bare number.
The formula
liters per hour- The amount you are converting, in liters per hour
0.15095545849- The exact number of barrels per day in one liter per hour
barrels per day- The converted result
How it works, step by step
- Enter the value in liters per hour.
- It is multiplied by 0.15095545849, the exact factor between the two units.
- The answer is shown in barrels per day, with the reverse conversion beneath it.
- Check the reference table if you want a figure of comparable size.
Worked examples
A garden hose: 1080 L/h in barrels per day
A garden hose comes to about 1080 L/h. Multiplying by the factor: 1080 × 0.150955 = 163.032 bbl/d. Dividing the answer back by 0.150955 returns the figure you started with, which is the quickest way to check you have the factor the right way up.
A bathroom tap: 360 L/h in barrels per day
A bathroom tap comes to about 360 L/h. Multiplying by the factor: 360 × 0.150955 = 54.344 bbl/d. Dividing the answer back by 0.150955 returns the figure you started with, which is the quickest way to check you have the factor the right way up.

Frequently asked questions
How many barrels per day are in one liter per hour?
Exactly 0.15095545849. Every figure on this page is that one number multiplied by your input, so the only rounding is at the display step.
What is the formula to convert liters per hour to barrels per day?
barrels per day = liters per hour × 0.15095545849. Reversed, liters per hour = barrels per day ÷ 0.15095545849, which is the same as multiplying by 6.624470622.
Which is the bigger unit, the liter per hour or the barrel per day?
The barrel per day. One liter per hour is only 0.150955 of a barrel per day, so it takes 6.62447 liters per hour to make one barrel per day.
What does this quantity actually measure?
Both units measure volumetric flow. That is why a single factor is enough: there is no temperature offset and no material property involved, unlike conversions that cross between different quantities.
What is a liter per hour?
The rating unit for dosing pumps, drip irrigation and small boilers.
What is a barrel per day?
The unit oil production is reported in worldwide.
Why does my answer differ from another converter?
Almost always because the other tool rounded the factor before multiplying. This page keeps full double precision through the calculation and rounds only for display, and it prints the factor it used so you can see where any difference came from.
Is there a quick way to do L/h to bbl/d in my head?
Plenty of people do this in their head: divide by 6.6 instead of using the exact factor 0.1509554585. At 100 that shortcut gives 15.151515 barrels per day, off by 0.05597 barrels per day or about 0.37%. Fine for a rough estimate, not fine for anything you are cutting to size or dosing.
