Why is gasoline density referenced at 15.5°C in this conversion?

15.5°C is a standard reference temperature for liquid fuels to account for density variations caused by temperature changes.

Can this conversion be used for fuels other than gasoline?

No, the conversion rate is specific to gasoline at 15.5°C and may not produce accurate results for other fuels.

What is the source unit barrel (US)/second used for?

It represents a volumetric flow rate equal to one US oil barrel passing a point per second, commonly used for large liquid flow rates in petroleum contexts.

What Is This Tool?

This tool converts volumetric flow rates measured in barrel (US)/second to mass flow rates in kilogram/second, specifically for gasoline at 15.5°C. It helps translate the flow of gasoline from volume per time to mass per time, referencing a standard temperature for density.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow value in barrel (US)/second.
Select kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C) as the target unit.
Execute the conversion to obtain the mass flow rate equivalent.
Use the result for fuel system calculations or monitoring.

Key Features

Converts from barrel (US)/second, a volumetric flow unit based on one US oil barrel per second.
Outputs kilogram/second mass flow based on gasoline density at 15.5°C.
Uses a precise conversion rate for accurate flow translation.
Supports applications in combustion control, metering, and process monitoring.

Examples

2 barrel (US)/second converts to 235.0878534882 kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
0.5 barrel (US)/second converts to 58.77196337205 kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C).

Common Use Cases

Reporting oil well production rates using barrels per second converted to mass flow.
Sizing and monitoring crude oil pipeline and pump capacity.
Specifying fuel mass flow to engines or turbines at standard reference temperature.
Custody transfer, metering, and billing at fuel terminals where mass flow is required.
Calibrating and testing flow meters and process control systems in refineries.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure temperature stability at 15.5°C for accurate density reference.
Use the conversion rate only for gasoline at 15.5°C to prevent inaccuracies.
Complement conversion with precise flow measurements for reliability.

Limitations

Dependent on gasoline density at 15.5°C; changes in temperature or composition affect accuracy.
Conversion rate is not applicable to other fuels or temperatures without adjustment.
Requires precise flow measurement and stable temperature for trustworthy results.
