What does acre-foot per day measure?

It measures volumetric flow rate, representing one acre of surface area with water one foot deep delivered or removed each day.

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

15.5°C (about 60°F) is the standard temperature used for petroleum volume and density correction, ensuring consistent mass flow measurements.

Can I use this converter for fluids other than gasoline or water?

No, this conversion is specifically designed for water volume flow to gasoline mass flow at the specified temperature. Other fluids require appropriate conversions.

It helps translate volumetric water flow rates into mass flow rates of gasoline adjusted for temperature, supporting accurate measurements in hydraulic and petroleum engineering contexts.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow value in acre-foot/day (ac*ft/d) units
Select pound/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) as the target unit
Click convert to see the equivalent mass flow rate
Use the result for engineering, metering, or reporting purposes

Key Features

Converts volumetric flow rate (acre-foot/day) to mass flow rate (pound/minute) for gasoline at 15.5°C
Uses standardized temperature reference for gasoline density
Helps in custody transfer, billing, and quality control of fuel shipments
Provides quick, browser-based unit conversions with clear instructions

Examples

2 acre-foot/day converts to approximately 2792.38 pound/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
0.5 acre-foot/day equals roughly 698.09 pound/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C)

Common Use Cases

Calculating irrigation delivery rates and water transfers in agricultural settings
Reporting reservoir or river flow rates in water resource management
Determining mass flow of gasoline for custody transfer and invoicing under standard temperature conditions
Supporting refinery metering, loading, and pipeline engineering calculations at standardized fuel density

Tips & Best Practices

Always verify that gasoline density corresponds to the 15.5°C reference temperature for accurate conversions
Use this converter only when converting between water flow volume and gasoline mass flow under relevant conditions
Check consistency with other measurements when using conversions involving different fluid properties
Consider operational contexts such as custody transfer or engineering design to select correct units

Limitations

Conversion assumes gasoline density at exactly 15.5°C; deviations may affect results
Acre-foot/day measures water volume flow, whereas pound/minute reflects gasoline mass flow, so cross-product application is specific
Not suitable for fuels or fluids with significantly different compositions or temperatures
Users must apply conversion only in appropriate engineering and petroleum contexts
