Why is gasoline density at 15.5°C important for this conversion?

Using gasoline density at 15.5°C ensures that the mass flow rate reflects a standard temperature reference, providing consistent and accurate measurements when converting from volume to mass.

Can this conversion be used for petroleum products other than gasoline?

No, this conversion is specific to gasoline and relies on its density at 15.5°C; applying it to other products may lead to inaccurate results.

What industries commonly use this conversion?

The petroleum industry widely uses this conversion for oil production reporting, pipeline management, fuel consumption analysis, custody transfer, and flow meter calibration.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms flow rates measured in barrel (US)/second, a volumetric rate for crude oil and petroleum products, into kilogram/hour for gasoline at 15.5°C, a mass flow rate that accounts for gasoline density at the standard reference temperature.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow rate value in barrel (US)/second.
Select kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C) as the target unit.
Click convert to see the equivalent mass flow rate based on gasoline density at 15.5°C.

Key Features

Converts volumetric flow rate from barrel (US)/second to mass flow rate in kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
Uses a precise conversion factor reflecting gasoline density at standard temperature.
Suitable for applications related to oil production, pipeline monitoring, and fuel consumption reporting.

Examples

1 barrel (US)/second = 423158.14 kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
0.5 barrel (US)/second = 211579.07 kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C)

Common Use Cases

Reporting oil well production rates and pipeline flow measurements in mass units.
Converting volume-based gasoline flow data to mass for custody transfer and billing.
Standardizing fuel consumption and engine fuel flow metrics using density-corrected mass flow rates.
Calibrating and verifying flow meters and dispensers with reference to gasoline density at 15.5°C.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure gasoline density is referenced at 15.5°C to maintain consistent mass flow calculations.
Use this conversion specifically for gasoline flows, as density variations affect accuracy for other products.
Apply conversions under standard temperature conditions for reliable results.
Double-check inputs for precise flow measurement and reporting.

Limitations

Conversion depends on gasoline density at 15.5°C and assumes standard temperature conditions.
Accuracy may vary with changes in temperature or gasoline composition outside the reference standard.
This conversion is specific to gasoline and should not be applied to other petroleum products.
