Discover the ease of converting barrels of oil to cubic inches with Newtum's intuitive online calculator. Get precise measurements in just a few clicks!
A barrel, often abbreviated as 'bbl', is a unit of volume traditionally used for quantifying crude oil and other petroleum products. One standard barrel contains 42 US gallons or approximately 159 liters. Its origins trace back to the mid-19th century, where it became a standard unit for the oil industry. Barrels are also used in other contexts for different substances, including beer and fish, with volumes varying according to local laws and customs.
Definition of Cubic InchA cubic inch is a unit of volume measurement in the Imperial and United States customary systems. It is the volume of a cube with each of its three dimensions (length, width, and height) being one inch long. One cubic inch is equivalent to about 16.387 cubic centimeters or 0.554 fluid ounces. This unit is commonly used in engineering and manufacturing to measure the displacement of engines and the volume of various containers.
| Barrels (bbl) | Cubic Inches (in^3) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 bbl | 9702 in^3 |
| 0.5 bbl | 48510 in^3 |
| 1 bbl | 97020 in^3 |
| 2 bbl | 194040 in^3 |
| 3 bbl | 291060 in^3 |
| 4 bbl | 388080 in^3 |
| 5 bbl | 485100 in^3 |
| 10 bbl | 970200 in^3 |
| 20 bbl | 1940400 in^3 |
| 50 bbl | 4851000 in^3 |
Example 1:
Convert 1 bbl to in^3:
1 bbl = 9702 in^3
Example 2:
Convert 2.5 bbl to in^3:
2.5 bbl = 2.5 × 9702 in^3 = 24255 in^3
