Metric regions commonly use the tonne of oil equivalent (toe), or more often million toe (Mtoe). Since this is a measurement of mass, any conversion to barrels of oil equivalent depends on the density of the oil in question, as well as the energy content. Typically 1 tonne of oil has a volume of 1.08 to 1.19 cubic metres (6.8 to 7.5 bbl).
In the oil industry, quantities of crude oil are often measured in metric tons. One can calculate the approximate number of barrels per metric ton for a given crude oil based on its API gravity: barrels of crude oil per metric ton = API gravity + 131.5 141.5 × 0.159 {\displaystyle {\text{barrels of crude oil per metric ton}}={\frac {{\text{API ...
One common term is barrels per day (BPD, BOPD, bbl/d, bpd, bd, or b/d), where 1 BPD is equivalent to 0.0292 gallons per minute. [13] One BPD also becomes 49.8 tonnes per year. [ 13 ] At an oil refinery, production is sometimes reported as barrels per calendar day (b/cd or bcd), which is total production in a year divided by the days in that year.
1 is a required parameter, which specifies the number of oil barrels to be converted to tonnes (metric tons). Please do not format this parameter; i.e., use 1234 instead of 1,234. API is the API gravity factor. The default value is 33.4, corresponding to a density of 858.1 kg/m³ or 7.330 bbl/t at 60 °F. 2 can either be a word or a number ...
A long ton, also called the weight ton (W/T), [1] imperial ton, or displacement ton, is equal to: 2,240 pounds (1,016.0 kilograms; 1.0160 metric tons) exactly 12% more than the 2,000 pounds of the North American short ton , being 20 long hundredweight (112 lb) rather than 20 short hundredweight (100 lb)
For other isotopes, the isotopic mass is usually within 0.1 u of the mass number. For example, 35 Cl (17 protons and 18 neutrons) has a mass number of 35 and an isotopic mass of 34.96885. [7] The difference of the actual isotopic mass minus the mass number of an atom is known as the mass excess, [8] which for 35 Cl is –0.03115.
In 2005, 2.42 billion metric tons of oil were shipped by tanker. [2] 76.7% of this was crude oil, and the rest consisted of refined petroleum products. [2] This amounted to 34.1% of all seaborne trade for the year. [2] Combining the amount carried with the distance it was carried, oil tankers moved 11,705 billion metric-ton-miles of oil in 2005 ...
Dry measure. Dry measures are units of volume to measure bulk commodities that are not fluids and that were typically shipped and sold in standardized containers such as barrels. They have largely been replaced by the units used for measuring volumes in the metric system and liquid volumes in the imperial system but are still used for some ...
