Why is conversion to pound/day based on gasoline at 15.5°C important?

Standardizing to 15.5°C accounts for temperature-dependent density changes, ensuring consistent mass measurement across custody transfer and refinery operations.

Can I use this conversion tool for other petroleum products?

No, this conversion is specific to gasoline at 15.5°C and does not apply accurately to other petroleum products with different densities.

What is the basic formula to convert barrel (US)/day to pound/day for gasoline at 15.5°C?

Multiply the value in barrel (US)/day by 259.14 to get the mass flow rate in pounds per day.

What Is This Tool?

This tool converts volumetric flow rates measured in barrels (US) per day to mass flow rates expressed in pounds per day for gasoline at 15.5°C. It helps standardize measurements in the petroleum industry by accounting for the gasoline’s density at the reference temperature.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the value in barrel (US)/day you want to convert
Select pound/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C) as the target unit
Initiate the conversion to get the equivalent mass flow rate in pounds per day
Use results for your reporting, processing, or accounting needs in the petroleum sector

Key Features

Converts barrel (US)/day to pound/day specifically for gasoline at 15.5°C reference temperature
Uses standardized conversion rates common in oil production, refining, and logistics
Supports consistent custody transfer, inventory accounting, and refinery throughput calculations
Provides quick and easy conversion of volumetric to mass flow rates
Browser-based and user-friendly interface for immediate calculations

Examples

5 barrel (US)/day equals 1295.7 pound/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
0.1 barrel (US)/day equals 25.914 pound/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)

Common Use Cases

Reporting crude oil production rates in barrels per day and converting to mass for refinery input calculations
Custody transfer and inventory management at terminals and pipelines for gasoline quantities standardized at 15.5°C
Refinery throughput and blending operations requiring mass balance using gasoline mass flow rates
Fuel consumption and emissions reporting based on standardized gasoline mass burned per day

Tips & Best Practices

Always confirm the temperature reference to ensure accurate standardization to 15.5°C
Use this conversion for gasoline specifically, as compositions and densities differ for other petroleum products
Apply the tool for consistent mass flow calculations in custody transfer and refinery accounting
Double-check input units before converting to maintain precise and meaningful results

Limitations

Conversion assumes gasoline density at 15.5°C and may not be exact if temperature or composition varies
Applicable only to gasoline; not intended for other petroleum products with different properties
Does not account for temperature fluctuations or specific gasoline blends that alter density
