Barrels To Metric Tons Calculator

What is Barrels to Metric Tons?

Barrels to Metric Tons involves converting a volume measurement (barrels) into a weight measurement (metric tons). This is commonly used in industries dealing with oil and other fluids.

How to Use the Calculator

To convert barrels to metric tons, follow these steps:

1. Enter Density: Input the density in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³). For example, use 850 kg/m³.
2. Enter Volume: Input the volume in barrels. For example, use 50 barrels.
3. Calculate: Click the “Calculate” button to find the metric tons.

To convert metric tons back to barrels, use the other section of the calculator:

1. Enter Metric Tons: Input the weight in metric tons. For instance, use 10 metric tons.
2. Enter Density: Input the density, like 850 kg/m³.
3. Calculate: Click the “Calculate” button to find the volume in barrels.

Formula

To convert barrels to metric tons, use the following formula:

$\text{Metric Tons}=\frac{\text{Density}\times (\text{Volume}\times \text{barrel to cubic meter conversion})}{1000}$

Variables:

Variable	Description
Density	Density in kg/m³
Volume	Volume in barrels
Metric Tons	Resulting weight in metric tons

How To Convert Barrels To Metric Tons ?

Example 1:

• Density: 900 kg/m³
• Volume: 100 barrels

Convert the volume to cubic meters:

$100\text{ barrels}\times 0.1589873=15.89873\text{ m³}$

Calculate metric tons:

$\frac{900\times 15.89873}{1000}=14.31\text{metric tons}$

Example 2:

• Density: 800 kg/m³
• Volume: 200 barrels

Convert the volume to cubic meters:

$200\text{ barrels}\times 0.1589873=31.79746\text{ m³}$

Calculate metric tons:

$\frac{800\times 31.79746}{1000}=25.44\text{ metric tons}$

FAQs
