How many barrels of water to a cubic meter of water?

Answer 1

There are 117.347765 Liters in 1 US barrel volume. And there are 1,000 Liters in one cubic meter.

So there are

0.117347765 cubic meters per barrel

or

0.177347765 m3/ bl

by dividing across liters per barrel by liters per cubic meter.

Note that the UK measures of 'barrels' are slightly different than the US measure of a barrel used here. There are also slight differences between 'dry' and 'wet' barrel volume measures in some industries, for example the 'wet' volume of 1 barrel in the petroleum industry is 0.158987304 cubic meters per barrel, or 42 US gallons.

Answer 2

Taking barrel volume at 42 US gallons or 35 UK gallons = 159 litres (both)

1 cu m of water = 1000 litres, so : 1000 / 159 = 6.29 barrels
