What does acre-foot/year measure?

Acre-foot/year is a volumetric flow rate representing the volume of one acre-foot delivered or used over one year. It is commonly used for long-term water resource planning.

Why is gasoline density at 15.5°C important?

The density of gasoline at 15.5°C serves as a standard reference to ensure consistent and accurate mass flow conversions from volume, accounting for temperature-related density changes.

Can I use this conversion for fuel flows at other temperatures?

This conversion is specific to gasoline at 15.5°C. Using it for other temperatures may lead to inaccuracies due to density changes with temperature variations.

Calibrating and verifying flow meters using density-corrected measurements.

Tips & Best Practices

Confirm the gasoline temperature is near 15.5°C for accurate density-based conversion.
Use the tool for long-term flow conversions consistent with acre-foot/year definitions.
Apply conversions thoughtfully when shifting between water resource and fuel flow contexts.
Verify flow measurements with calibration standards where possible.
Understand that variations in gasoline composition can affect density and conversion results.

Limitations

Conversion accuracy depends on gasoline being at the specified 15.5°C reference temperature.
Changes in gasoline temperature or formulation alter density and mass flow results.
Acre-foot/year is a large, long-term volumetric flow unit not typically used for short-term fuel flows.
Applying water-based volumetric units in fuel industry contexts requires caution.
Mass flow conversion assumes consistent gasoline properties that may vary in practice.
