How many barrels is a metric ton?

Answer 1

a barrel is a barrel... there are no different types. and for a substance to weigh up to a metric ton means it is heavy enough to weigh just that.

therefore, there are approximately 159 liters in a barrel and 1184 liters in a metric ton. if that is true, to get the exact number of barrels in a metric ton, simply divide 1184 liters by 159 liters i.e (1184/159)= 7.5 barrels (approximately) in one metric ton.

in the same manner, 100,000 metric ton is approximately 7.5 * 100,000= 750,000 barrels.

Answer 2

Depends on the density. Using a common gravity of 33 deg API, there would be 7.3 bbls to the metric ton. See: http://www.eppo.go.th/ref/UNIT-OIL.html A metric ton is 1,000 kg. Oil density is usually stated in degrees API, with density = 141.5/(API + 131.5). A common crude weight of 33 degrees would equal 0.86 gm/cc or 0.86 kg/liter. A barrel contains 42 gallons or 158.985 liters. So 1000/(0.86 x 158.985) = 7.313 bbls.

Answer 3

Unanswerable question. A barrel is a unit of volume, a tonne (to spell it correctly, to distinguish it from the Imperial-system based US and UK Ton) is a unit of mass. So there are no barrels in a tonne.

Answer 4

A metric ton is equivalent to approximately 7.33 barrels of crude oil.

Answer 5

One ton of oil is equivalent to 7.11, 7.33, or 7.4 barrel of oil equivalent.

Answer 6

It depends on the density of the substance in the barrel.

Answer 7

7.44
