Why is the reference temperature of 15.5 °C used in this conversion?

15.5 °C is a standard temperature reference for gasoline to account for temperature-dependent density changes, ensuring consistent mass measurement across various conditions.

Can this conversion be applied to other petroleum products besides gasoline?

No, this conversion is specific to gasoline at 15.5 °C and may not provide accurate results for other petroleum liquid products.

How do variations in temperature affect the conversion results?

Since gasoline density changes with temperature, differences from the reference 15.5 °C may cause discrepancies in the mass flow rate calculated.
