Why use kilogram/hour for gasoline at 15.5°C instead of barrel/hour?

Kilogram/hour references mass flow using gasoline density at 15.5°C, providing more consistent and accurate accounting, especially for custody transfer and billing purposes.

Can this conversion be used for crude oil volumes?

No, this conversion factor applies specifically to gasoline at 15.5°C and is not valid for crude oil or other hydrocarbons without adjustments.

How does temperature affect the conversion accuracy?

Temperature variations cause changes in gasoline density, which affects the mass flow rate. The conversion is accurate only when gasoline is at or near 15.5°C.
