Convert Barrel (oil) to Cubic Feet
Barrel (oil)
A barrel of oil (bbl) is a unit of volume used in the oil industry. It is defined as 42 US gallons, which is approximately 158.987 liters. The barrel is used to measure large quantities of crude oil and other petroleum products.
The barrel as a unit of measure for oil originated in the early days of the oil industry in the United States. The 42-gallon size was standardized in the 19th century to provide a consistent measure for trading and transporting oil. The use of the barrel as a unit of measure has continued to the present day, despite the adoption of the metric system in many other industries.
Cubic Feet
A cubic foot (ft³) is a unit of volume in the imperial system and the U.S. customary system. It is defined as the volume of a cube with sides that are each 1 foot long. One cubic foot is equivalent to 1,728 cubic inches or approximately 0.0283 cubic meters (m³). It is commonly used to measure the volume of spaces, rooms, and materials such as building materials, air, or liquids.
The cubic foot is derived from the foot, a unit of length that has been used for centuries and was originally based on the average length of a human foot. The foot became standardized in the 14th century in England, and the cubic foot, as a unit of volume, was introduced as a way to measure the volume of larger objects or spaces. It is widely used in construction, real estate, and other industries where volume measurement is needed. Despite the global shift to the metric system, the cubic foot remains a standard unit of volume in countries that use the imperial or U.S. customary systems.
