US Oil Barrel

What is a us oil barrel?

The petroleum barrel is exactly 42 US gallons (158.987 L).

Origin of the us oil barrel

Set by the US petroleum industry in the 1860s and now a global oil-trade standard.

Where it is used

The standard unit for crude-oil pricing and production worldwide.

When and where it was developed

US oil industry, 1860s.

Cubic Centimeter to US Oil Barrel conversion formula

The relationship between cubic centimeters and us oil barrels:

1 cm³ = 6.289811e-6 bbl (oil)
1 bbl (oil) = 158987.294928 cm³

To convert cubic centimeters to us oil barrels, multiply the value in cubic centimeters by 6.289811e-6. To reverse, multiply us oil barrels by 158987.294928.

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 cm³ to bbl (oil):
1 × 6.289811e-6 = 6.289811e-6 bbl (oil)

Example 2 — Convert 100 cm³ to bbl (oil):
100 × 6.289811e-6 = 0.0006289811 bbl (oil)

Real-world example — Macro-scale buildup

A million cubic centimeters equals exactly one us oil barrel — the conversion that bridges microscale features and macroscale objects in microfluidic, biomedical, and semiconductor packaging design.

1000000 cm³ × 6.289811e-6 = 6.2898107704 bbl (oil)

Real-world example — Quarter-meter measurement reference

A 250,000-cubic centimeter length equals 0.25 us oil barrels — useful for comparing supply-chain spec sheets where some lengths are quoted in the smaller unit and some in the larger.

250000 cm³ × 6.289811e-6 = 1.5724526926 bbl (oil)

Real-world example — From microscopic to macroscopic

A million cubic centimeters equals exactly one us oil barrel. This kind of conversion appears in microfluidics, where total channel length is given in us oil barrels but feature widths are in cubic centimeters.

1000000 cm³ × 6.289811e-6 = 6.2898107704 bbl (oil)
