Why is gasoline mass flow standardized at 15.5°C?

Standardizing gasoline flow to 15.5°C accounts for temperature-dependent density changes, enabling consistent volume and mass comparisons.

Can acre-foot/day be used directly for gasoline flow measurement?

Acre-foot/day is a water volumetric flow unit; it requires conversion when used for gasoline mass flow to ensure accuracy.

What industries benefit from this unit conversion?

Petroleum refining, gasoline distribution, pipeline custody transfer, and environmental emissions reporting commonly utilize this conversion.
