Why is gasoline measured at 15.5°C for mass flow?

Using 15.5°C as a reference temperature accounts for thermal expansion, ensuring consistent mass-volume relationships and comparability among measurements.

Can I use this conversion for other fuels?

No, this specific conversion applies only to gasoline with density referenced at 15.5°C and should not be used for other liquids.

What is a barrel (US)/minute?

It is a volumetric flow unit representing one US petroleum barrel (42 US gallons) flowing per minute, commonly used in oil and gas industry contexts.

What Is This Tool?

This converter changes flow values from barrel (US) per minute, a volumetric unit commonly used in the oil and gas industry, to kilogram per minute for gasoline at 15.5°C, a mass flow unit standardized to a reference temperature to account for thermal expansion.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow rate value in barrel (US) per minute.
Select barrel (US)/minute as the source unit and kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) as the target unit.
Initiate the conversion process to see the equivalent mass flow rate.
Use the output value for billing, calibration, or performance assessments.

Key Features

Converts volumetric flow (barrel (US)/minute) to mass flow (kilogram/minute) for gasoline at 15.5°C.
Uses a standardized reference temperature to ensure consistent mass-volume conversion.
Suitable for oilfield equipment flow rates and fuel industry reporting.
Provides quick and accurate conversions for engineering and operational contexts.

Examples

2 barrel (US)/minute equals approximately 235.0878535284 kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
0.5 barrel (US)/minute converts to about 58.7719633821 kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C).

Common Use Cases

Reporting production or flow rates in oilfield or pipeline operations.
Calibrating fuel flowmeters and verifying pump capacities at gasoline terminals.
Standardizing fuel consumption tests for engines and vehicles using a reference temperature mass flow.
