What Is This Tool?

This unit converter transforms flow measurements from barrel (US) per hour, a volumetric rate common in petroleum, to pound per minute, a mass flow rate standardized for gasoline density at 15.5°C. It ensures accurate comparisons and calculations by converting volume-based rates into temperature-referenced mass flow values.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow value in barrel (US) per hour into the input field
Select 'barrel (US)/hour' as the source unit and 'pound/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C)' as the target unit
Check the converted result which reflects mass flow adjusted for gasoline density at 15.5°C
Apply the converted values in your engineering, custody transfer, or quality control processes

Key Features

Converts volumetric flow rates in barrel (US)/hour to mass flow rates in pound/minute for gasoline at 15.5°C
Accounts for gasoline density corrected to a standard temperature to maintain measurement consistency
Supports applications in petroleum engineering, refinery, and terminal operations
Provides straightforward and browser-based conversion with no additional setup required

Examples

5 barrel (US)/hour converts to 21.595 pound/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
10 barrel (US)/hour converts to 43.19 pound/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C)

Common Use Cases

Reporting well production or field output in volumetric and mass flow units
Custody transfer and invoicing for gasoline shipments with temperature-corrected mass flow
Refinery or terminal throughput monitoring and loading/unloading management
Engineering tasks such as pipeline sizing, pump selection, and emission calculations

Tips & Best Practices

Always confirm that the gasoline density is referenced to 15.5°C before conversion
Use the converted mass flow rates for accurate custody transfer and invoicing documentation
Consider temperature variations and measurement uncertainties when interpreting results
Apply this conversion specifically for gasoline; verify suitability before using with other products

Limitations

Conversion accuracy depends on gasoline density referenced to 15.5°C; deviations affect results
Not applicable to other petroleum products without adjustments for different densities or conditions
Measurement errors and temperature changes may influence conversion precision
