Why is the reference temperature of 15.5°C important for this conversion?

Using a reference temperature of 15.5°C ensures consistent density-based mass–volume conversions and comparability of fuel measurements across different thermal conditions.

Can I use this conversion for diesel or crude oil?

No, this conversion is specific to gasoline at 15.5°C and may not provide accurate results for other petroleum products without adjusting for their density differences.

What are typical applications for converting barrel (US)/hour to kilogram/minute for gasoline?

Common applications include custody transfer invoicing, terminal throughput calculations, pipeline flow sizing, and fuel consumption testing with standardized mass flow rates.

What Is This Tool?

This unit converter transforms flow measurements from barrel (US) per hour to kilogram per minute specifically for gasoline measured at a standard reference temperature of 15.5°C. It helps translate volumetric flow rates into mass flow rates with consistent reference conditions.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the value representing the flow rate in barrel (US) per hour
Select barrel (US)/hour as the input unit and kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) as the output unit
Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent mass flow rate
Use the result for consistent measurement, invoicing, or engineering calculations

Key Features

Converts volumetric flow in barrels (US) per hour to mass flow in kilograms per minute for gasoline at 15.5°C
Provides standardized measurements accounting for gasoline density at 15.5°C
Ideal for use in petroleum engineering, fuel terminals, and pipeline operations
Offers quick and reliable conversion for fuel custody transfer and billing purposes

Examples

1 barrel (US)/hour equals approximately 1.9591 kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
5 barrels (US)/hour convert to approximately 9.7953 kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C)

Common Use Cases

Reporting well production or field output in volumetric units converted to mass flow rates
Calculating refinery or terminal throughput using standardized mass measurements
Sizing pipeline pumping rates with accurate mass flow considerations
Fuel custody transfer and invoicing where consistent mass measurements at 15.5°C are required
Calibration and verification of fuel flowmeters in distribution systems
Engine and vehicle fuel consumption testing with temperature-corrected measurements

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the gasoline density reference temperature is maintained at 15.5°C for accurate conversions
Use this conversion only for gasoline and not for other petroleum products unless corrected for density differences
Validate fuel composition and temperature conditions when applying conversion results in critical operations

Limitations

Conversion accuracy depends on the gasoline density being precisely referenced at 15.5°C
Variations in temperature or gasoline composition may affect the mass flow calculation
This conversion is specific to gasoline and might not apply correctly to other petroleum fluids without density adjustments
