What Is This Tool?
This tool allows you to convert flow measurements from acre-foot per year, a volumetric water flow unit, to kilogram per day, a mass flow unit for gasoline standardized at 15.5°C. It is designed to support accurate calculations in water management and petroleum industries.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in acre-foot per year that you want to convert
-
Select kilogram per day (Gasoline at 15.5°C) as the target unit
-
Click the convert button to get the equivalent mass flow rate
-
Review the results and apply them in your calculations or reports
Key Features
-
Converts acre-foot/year to kilogram/day based on gasoline density at 15.5°C
-
Supports flow rate conversions between volumetric and mass units
-
Facilitates consistent reporting for custody transfer and inventory
-
Browser-based and easy to use for quick calculations
Examples
-
2 acre-foot/year equals 4997.0006 kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
0.5 acre-foot/year equals 1249.25 kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
Common Use Cases
-
Water-resources planning and reservoir yield or release rate calculations
-
Allocating surface-water and irrigation water rights in agriculture
-
Municipal or regional water supply accounting and forecasting
-
Custody transfer and invoicing for gasoline deliveries standardized at 15.5°C
-
Inventory reconciliation and throughput reporting at fuel refineries and depots
-
Fuel consumption and emissions calculations in refining and distribution
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure units are consistent with your operational context before converting
-
Use this conversion for gasoline mass flow standardized at 15.5°C only
-
Verify the density reference temperature matches your measurement conditions
-
Apply the tool for custody transfer and inventory to maintain regulatory compliance
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes gasoline density at 15.5°C; different fluids or temperatures require separate factors
-
Volumetric to mass flow conversions depend on accurate density referencing
-
Not suitable for fluids other than gasoline or conditions differing from standard reference
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does acre-foot per year measure?
-
It measures a volumetric flow rate equal to one acre-foot of volume delivered or used over the course of a year.
-
Why is gasoline standardized at 15.5°C for this conversion?
-
Standardizing at 15.5°C allows consistent mass–volume conversions and ensures accuracy for custody transfer and inventory purposes.
-
Can this conversion be used for fluids other than gasoline?
-
No, this conversion specifically applies to gasoline with density referenced at 15.5°C and may not be accurate for other fluids.
Key Terminology
-
Acre-foot/year
-
A volumetric flow rate representing one acre-foot of volume delivered or used over one year.
-
Kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate specifying the mass of gasoline passing a point per day, standardized to 15.5°C for consistent mass-volume conversion.
-
Custody transfer
-
The process of transferring product ownership typically requiring accurate flow measurement and reporting.
