Why does the conversion reference gasoline at 15.5°C?

Gasoline density varies with temperature, so 15.5°C is used as a standard reference to ensure consistent and comparable mass flow measurements.

Can I use this conversion for fluids other than gasoline?

No, this converter is specific to gasoline at 15.5°C and should not be used for other fluids or temperatures without adjustments.

How to Convert from Barrel (US)/day [bbl (US)/d] to Pound/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C)?

Q: What does barrel (US)/day measure?
