Why is gasoline density referenced at 15.5°C for this conversion?

Referencing gasoline at 15.5°C standardizes density to ensure accurate mass flow calculation from volumetric measurements, which is essential for custody transfer and fuel accounting.

Can I convert acre-foot/day directly to mass flow for other liquids using this tool?

No, this conversion specifically uses gasoline density at 15.5°C and is not valid for other liquids without adjusting for their density.

What do I do if gasoline temperature differs significantly from 15.5°C?

You should use density-corrected values for the actual temperature to maintain accuracy, as this converter assumes a fixed reference temperature of 15.5°C.

What Is This Tool?

This unit converter transforms flow measurements from acre-foot per day, a volumetric unit used primarily in water resources, into kilogram per hour for gasoline measured at 15.5°C. It helps convert water-based volumetric flows to mass flow rates relevant in petroleum fuel distribution.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow value in acre-foot per day [ac*ft/d].
Select kilogram per hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C) as the target unit.
Click convert to get the mass flow equivalent measured in kilogram/hour for gasoline at 15.5°C.
Use the conversion results for fuel metering, billing, or performance analysis.

Key Features

Converts volumetric flow (acre-foot/day) to mass flow (kilogram/hour) for gasoline at 15.5°C.
Uses a standardized density reference for gasoline to ensure consistent mass measurements.
Supports applications in fuel custody transfer, engine fuel consumption reporting, and flow meter calibration.
Provides easy, browser-based conversion with clear step-by-step guidance.

Examples

2 acre-foot/day equals 75,996.05 kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
0.5 acre-foot/day equals 18,999.01 kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C).

Common Use Cases

Specifying irrigation water delivery rates and translating them into mass flow rates for gasoline.
Custody transfer and billing of gasoline at terminals or pipelines where volume-to-mass conversion is needed.
Reporting engine fuel consumption standardized to gasoline density at 15.5°C for accurate comparisons.
Calibrating and verifying flow meters and dispensers with density-corrected mass flow values.

Tips & Best Practices

Always ensure the gasoline temperature is close to 15.5°C for accurate density-based conversions.
Use the converter for standard gasoline formulations; density may vary with composition.
Understand that acre-foot/day is a volumetric unit historically for water, so conversions to gasoline mass require density assumptions.
Double-check unit selections to avoid errors between volumetric and mass flow rates.

Limitations

Conversion assumes gasoline density exactly at 15.5°C; deviations affect accuracy.
Acre-foot/day is designed for water volume flow and may not perfectly align with gasoline properties.
Not suitable for converting flows of water or other liquids without specific density adjustments.
Changes in gasoline composition or temperature require recalculation for precise results.
