Why is the temperature correction to 15.5°C important?

Temperature correction ensures density is standardized, making mass flow rates consistent and comparable across measurements.

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

No, this conversion is specific to gasoline at 15.5°C and may not be accurate for other products without additional corrections.

What is one barrel (US) in volume?

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms flow rates measured in barrel (US)/second, a volumetric unit commonly used for crude oil and petroleum liquids, into pound/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C), a mass flow rate referencing gasoline at a standard temperature for accurate density adjustment.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow rate value in barrel (US)/second.
Select the input unit as barrel (US)/second and the output unit as pound/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
Initiate the conversion to obtain the equivalent mass flow rate.
Use the result for custody transfer, monitoring, or engineering applications.

Key Features

Converts large liquid flow rates from barrel (US)/second to mass flow rates in pound/hour for gasoline.
Uses a standard temperature reference of 15.5°C to ensure consistent mass flow results.
Ideal for applications involving custody transfer, fuel consumption, and flow meter calibration.
Supports engineering calculations requiring mass-based flow units corrected for temperature.

Examples

0.5 barrel (US)/second equals 466,451.999846485 pound/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
2 barrel (US)/second converts to 1,865,807.99938594 pound/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C).

Common Use Cases

Reporting oil well and field production rates in both volumetric and mass flow rates.
Sizing and monitoring pipeline and pumping systems handling crude oil.
Performing custody transfer and metering of gasoline corrected to 15.5°C.
Specifying mass-based fuel consumption rates for engines and industrial burners.
Calibrating and verifying flow meters requiring temperature-referenced mass flows.

Tips & Best Practices

Always ensure gasoline temperature is close to 15.5°C for reliable conversion results.
Use this conversion for gasoline only; other petroleum products may require different corrections.
Verify flow meter calibrations regularly to maintain measurement accuracy.
Convert volumetric rates to mass flow rates for precise engineering and custody calculations.

Limitations

Conversion assumes gasoline is at the standard temperature of 15.5°C for density correction.
Accuracy may decrease if gasoline composition or temperature varies from the standard.
Not suitable for converting other petroleum products or temperatures without further adjustments.
Mass flow rates depend on accurate density data that may vary by gasoline source or batch.
