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 barrels in one Metric Ton of light naphtha?

One metric ton of light naphtha is approximately equal to 7.33 barrels. This conversion can vary slightly based on the specific density of the naphtha, but 7.33 barrels is a commonly used estimate for light naphtha.


How many barrels of JP54 to a Metric ton?

JP54 (Jet Propellant 54) is typically measured in barrels and metric tons, with one barrel of JP54 weighing approximately 136 kilograms. Therefore, there are about 7.35 barrels of JP54 in a metric ton. This conversion can vary slightly based on temperature and specific gravity, but this is the general estimate used in the industry.

How many barrels jet fuel in 125000 metric ton?

To convert metric tons of jet fuel to barrels, you can use an approximate conversion factor: 1 metric ton of jet fuel is roughly equivalent to 7.5 barrels. Therefore, 125,000 metric tons of jet fuel would be approximately 937,500 barrels (125,000 x 7.5 = 937,500). Keep in mind that this is an estimate and actual values may vary slightly based on the specific density of the fuel.
