What Is This Tool?

This unit converter translates volumetric flow rates measured in barrel (US) per day into mass flow rates expressed in kilograms per minute for gasoline at a standardized temperature of 15.5°C. It helps users convert petroleum industry flow data to a consistent reference for various commercial and operational uses.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow value in barrel (US) per day.
Select the target unit as kilogram per minute for gasoline at 15.5°C.
Initiate the conversion to get the equivalent mass flow rate considering the standardized temperature reference.

Key Features

Converts flow rate from barrel (US)/day, a common petroleum industry volumetric unit, to kilogram/minute specific to gasoline at 15.5°C.
Accounts for gasoline density at a standard reference temperature to ensure consistent mass-volume relationships.
Supports applications in crude oil production, fuel custody transfer, calibration, and vehicle fuel-consumption reporting.

Examples

10 Barrel (US)/day converts to approximately 0.8163 kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
100 Barrel (US)/day converts to approximately 8.163 kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C).

Common Use Cases

Reporting crude oil production volumes in standardized mass units for wells and fields.
Monitoring throughput and capacity in oil pipelines, tankers, and terminals.
Performing custody transfer invoicing and fuel flowmeter calibration using mass-based measurements.
Conducting engine and vehicle fuel consumption tests with standardized temperature references.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure gasoline density assumptions correspond to the 15.5°C reference temperature for accurate conversion.
Use this conversion specifically for gasoline; it may not apply correctly to other petroleum products or temperature conditions.
Be aware that real-world temperature variations and fuel blends can influence conversion accuracy.

Limitations

Conversion accuracy depends on gasoline density precisely referenced at 15.5°C.
This ratio is specific to gasoline and may not suit other hydrocarbons or differing temperatures.
External factors like temperature changes and varied fuel compositions can affect conversion precision.
