can any body give me the formula to convert 1 Metric Ton of Crude oil to volume in BBL.
Thnak You!

Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page
Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

There are 7.33 barrels per tonne (tonne x 7.33 = bbl)

Crude Oil Volume Conversionat 7.33 Bbl per Ton.

Hello Knight,
Thank you for your reply.
I presumed the rate of conversion is based on Crude Oil specific gravity at .858.
Does the specific gravity varies very much on different type of Crude Oil current found in the market?
Best regards!

A Barrel (bbl) is a volumetric unit of measure for crude oil and petroleum products. 1 barrel is 42 US gallons, 35 imperial gallons or 159 liters.Peterlim wrote:I presumed the rate of conversion is based on Crude Oil specific gravity at .858.
Indeed, while there are roughly 7.33 bbl of crude oil to a tonne, the precise conversion obviously depends on the specific gravity of the oil.Peterlim wrote:Does the specific gravity varies very much on different type of Crude Oil current found in the market?
A quick look in the engineering Handbook lists some specific gravities for three different types of crude oil, which have a range of 0.42 g/cm³
Crude oil, California @ 60°F = 0.918 g/cm³
Crude oil, Mexican @ 60°F = 0.976 g/cm³
Crude oil, Texas @ 60°F = 0.876 g/cm³
