Oil Barrels: A Unit of Volume

Oil barrels are a unit of volume that are used to measure crude oil and petroleum products, such as gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, etc. They are different from fluid barrels, which are used to measure other liquids, such as beer, wine, water, etc. Oil barrels are also different from barrel of oil equivalent (BOE), which is a unit of energy based on the approximate energy released by burning one barrel of crude oil.

How to Convert Oil Barrels

To convert oil barrels to other units of volume, one can use the following formulas:

• To convert oil barrels to cubic meters: multiply by 0.159
• To convert oil barrels to liters: multiply by 158.987
• To convert oil barrels to cubic feet: multiply by 5.6146
• To convert oil barrels to gallons (US): multiply by 42
• To convert oil barrels to gallons (UK): multiply by 34.9723
• To convert oil barrels to BOE: divide by 6.2898

Kiloliters - A Unit of Volume

One kiloliter is equal to 0.001 cubic meters, 61023.744 cubic inches, or 264.172 gallons.

How to Convert Kiloliters

To convert kiloliters to other units of volume, you need to multiply or divide by the appropriate conversion factor. Here are some common conversion factors and examples:

• To convert kiloliters to cubic meters, multiply by 0.001.
  • Example: 2 kl × 0.001 = 0.002 m3
• To convert kiloliters to cubic inches, multiply by 61023.744.
  • Example: 2 kl × 61023.744 = 122047.488 in3
• To convert kiloliters to milliliters or liters, multiply by 1000000 or 1000 respectively.
  • Example: 2 kl × 1000000 = 2000000 mL or 2 kl × 1000 = 2000 L
• To convert kiloliters to gallons (US liquid), multiply by 264.172.
  • Example: 2 kl × 264.172 = 528.344 gal
• To convert kiloliters to bushels (US), multiply by 28.37825.
  • Example: 2 kl × 28.37825 = 56.7565 bu
• To convert kiloliters to barrels (oil), multiply by 6.28981.
  • Example: 2 kl × 6.28981 = 12.57962 bbl

To convert other units of volume to kiloliters, you need to divide by the appropriate conversion factor. Here are some common conversion factors and examples:

• To convert cubic meters to kiloliters, divide by 0.001.
  • Example: 0.002 m3 ÷ 0.001 = 2 kl
• To convert cubic inches to kiloliters, divide by 61023.744.
  • Example: 122047.488 in3 ÷ 61023.744 = 2 kl
• To convert milliliters or liters to kiloliters, divide by 1000000 or 1000 respectively.
  • Example: 2000000 mL ÷ 1000000 = 2 kl or 2000 L ÷ 1000 = 2 kl
• To convert gallons (US liquid) to kiloliters, divide by 264.172.
  • Example: 528.344 gal ÷ 264.172 = 2 kl
• To convert bushels (US) to kiloliters, divide by 28.37825.
  • Example: 56.7565 bu ÷ 28.37825 = 2 kl
• To convert barrels (oil) to kiloliters, divide by 6.28981.
  • Example: 12.57962 bbl ÷ 6.28981 = 2 kl
