What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms volumetric flow measured in US barrels per minute into mass flow expressed in kilograms per second for gasoline at 15.5°C. It helps users translate flow data important in fuel handling, engine fuel calculation, and industrial process control.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow value in barrel (US) per minute you want to convert.
Select the source unit as barrel (US)/minute and target unit as kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
Click convert to obtain the equivalent mass flow rate in kilogram per second.

Key Features

Converts barrel (US)/minute, a volume flow rate, into kilogram/second mass flow for gasoline at a reference temperature of 15.5°C.
Based on a standardized conversion factor recognizing the density of gasoline at 15.5°C.
Useful for measurements in oil production, fuel metering, and process calibration.

Examples

2 barrel (US)/minute converts to approximately 3.9181 kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
0.5 barrel (US)/minute equals about 0.9795 kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C).

Common Use Cases

Reporting production or flow rates in petroleum extraction and processing.
Specifying fuel mass flow for engines or turbines where gasoline density at 15.5 °C is considered.
Calibration and performance testing of oilfield pumps and flow meters.
Custody transfer, billing, and metering at fuel terminals using mass flow measurements.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the temperature of gasoline is close to 15.5°C for accurate mass flow conversion.
Use this conversion only for gasoline to maintain correct density assumptions.
Regularly calibrate measurement devices to improve conversion reliability.

Limitations

Conversion assumes gasoline density fixed at 15.5°C; temperature changes can reduce accuracy.
Not suitable for liquids other than gasoline as density and properties differ.
Accuracy depends on the calibration and precision of flow measurement instruments.
