The answer depends on the density (specific gravity) of the petroleum (and, strictly speaking, also on its temperature and pressure).

From memory, petrol has a specific gravity of about 0.9 compared to water. This means that for any given volume, the mass of the petroleum will be 0.9 times that of the same volume of water.

Now, because the metric system is nice and simple we know that 1 tonne is the same as 1000 kg, and we know that 1000 kg of pure water in it's liquid state has a volume of 1000 litres (=1 m³). So, 1 t of liquid water has a volume 1000 L.

Assuming my figure of 0.9 for the specific gravity of petrol is correct, we can do the maths and see that 1 t of petrol would have a voume of 1,111 L.

Now all you need is the conversion factor to convert litres into barrels which, unfortunately, being metric, I dont have.

1 metro ton equal how many crude oil barrels?

I am going on the assumption you mean "metric" ton. A standard ton is 2000 pounds. A metric Ton is 2205 pounds. 6-8 oil barrels equal a ton. assuming its 8 in this case, that is 250 lbs per barrel. That equals ALMOST 9 barrels of oil (8.82). If we assume is it 6 barrels per ton, than 2000 divided into 6 is 333.33. A metric ton (2205) divided into 333 equals 6.62. A bit over 6and a half barrels of crude oil in your metric ton.

How many litres of oil in 1 metric tonnes?

A metric ton is 1000kg, so that is the weight of oil in a metric ton, = 2204.7 lb. The density of crude oil varies but taking it as 0.75 kg/liter, 1000 kg = 1333 liters. There are 160 liters in a barrel, so 1333 liters = 8.33 barrels.

How many barrels of oil equal 100000 metric tons?

Slightly more than 720,461 barrels. A single metric ton = 1,000kg. So in 100,000 metric tons there are 100,000,000kg (one-hundred million.) A standard barrel of oil weighs 138.8kg. (See link) So, 100,000,000 / 138.8 = 720,461.095 barrels.


How many Barrels per metric ton of crude oil?

As the question is how many barrels per metric ton of 'crude oil', you can use the calculator on the U.S. Energy Information Administrations site:http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/kids/ then select 'energy calculators'Using the crude oil calculator shows 1 metric ton = 7.33 bbl crude oil. Crude oils vary depending on their specific gravity so this is an average for crude oil in the U.S.Depends on density, however 7.33 bbl per tonne is a reasonable estimate.1metric ton(1000kgs)=7.3 barrels. 1barrel=42 US gallons.
