Barrels To Metric Tons Calculator

Enter the values in our basic and advanced Barrels to Metric Tons Calculator for an instant and accurate calculation.

Converting barrels to metric tons are quite critical in industries dealing with liquid substances like oil. The conversion depends on the density of the liquid and the volume in barrels. Using our Barrels to Metric Tons Calculator, you can accurately determine the mass in metric tons.

Formula:

The formula is:

$\text{MT} = D \times \left(\frac{V \times 0.1589873}{1000}\right)$

Variables:

Variable	Meaning
MT	Metric Tons (the weight in metric tons)
D	Density of the liquid (in kg/m³)
V	Volume in barrels (BBL)
0.1589873	Conversion factor (to convert barrels to cubic meters)

How to Calculate ?

First of all you need to determine the density (D) of the liquid in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³). Now, measure the volume (V) in barrels. Then, multiply the volume (V) by the conversion factor 0.1589873 to convert barrels to cubic meters. Finally, multiply this result by the density (D) and divide by 1000 to convert kilograms to metric tons (MT).

Solved Calculation:

Example 1:

Given:

Density (D) = 850 kg/m³ (for crude oil)
Volume (V) = 100 barrels

Calculation	Instructions
Step 1: MT = $D \times \left(\frac{V \times 0.1589873}{1000}\right)$	Start with the formula.
Step 2: MT = $850 \times \left(\frac{100 \times 0.1589873}{1000}\right)$	Replace D with 850 kg/m³ and V with 100 barrels.
Step 3: MT = $850 \times \left(\frac{15.89873}{1000}\right)$	Multiply 100 barrels by 0.1589873 to get 15.89873 cubic meters.
Step 4: MT = $850 \times 0.01589873$	Divide 15.89873 by 1000 to convert to cubic meters.
Step 5: MT = 13.5149 metric tons	Multiply the result by 850 to get the weight in metric tons.

Answer:
The total weight is 13.5149 metric tons.

Example 2:

Given:

Density (D) = 1000 kg/m³ (for water)
Volume (V) = 50 barrels

Calculation	Instructions
Step 1: MT = $D \times \left(\frac{V \times 0.1589873}{1000}\right)$	Start with the formula.
Step 2: MT = $1000 \times \left(\frac{50 \times 0.1589873}{1000}\right)$	Replace D with 1000 kg/m³ and V with 50 barrels.
Step 3: MT = $1000 \times \left(\frac{7.949365}{1000}\right)$	Multiply 50 barrels by 0.1589873 to get 7.949365 cubic meters.
Step 4: MT = $1000 \times 0.007949365$	Divide 7.949365 by 1000 to convert to cubic meters.
Step 5: MT = 7.9494 metric tons	Multiply the result by 1000 to get the weight in metric tons.

Answer:
The total weight is 7.9494 metric tons.
