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

15.5°C is a standard reference temperature for petroleum products ensuring volume and density measurements are comparable and independent of thermal expansion effects.

Can I use this converter for liquids other than gasoline?

This converter is designed specifically for gasoline at 15.5°C and may not provide accurate results for other liquids without appropriate density corrections.

How is the conversion factor calculated between barrel (US)/second and pound/minute?

The conversion factor accounts for gasoline density at 15.5°C to translate volumetric flow into mass flow, as defined by the standard units used.

What Is This Tool?

This converter changes flow measurements from barrel (US) per second, a volumetric flow rate unit commonly used in oil production and pipeline monitoring, into pound per minute, a mass flow rate unit accounting for gasoline density at 15.5°C. It helps translate volume-based rates into mass-based equivalents standardized by temperature.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the value measured in barrel (US) per second
Select barrel (US)/second as the input unit
Choose pound/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) as the output unit
Click convert to get the equivalent mass flow rate accounting for gasoline density at 15.5°C

Key Features

Converts volumetric flow rates from barrel (US)/second to mass flow rates in pound/minute for gasoline at 15.5°C
Reflects standard temperature-based density corrections for accurate mass flow
Suitable for petroleum product metering, custody transfer, and engineering uses
Browser-based and easy to use

Examples

Converting 2 barrel (US)/second results in 31096.8 pound/minute of gasoline at 15.5°C
Converting 0.5 barrel (US)/second results in 7774.2 pound/minute of gasoline at 15.5°C

Common Use Cases

Reporting flow rates in oil wells and pipeline systems
Custody transfer and invoicing of gasoline shipments with temperature-corrected volume-to-mass conversion
Refinery and terminal operations for loading, unloading, and quality control
Engineering tasks such as pipeline design, pump sizing, and emissions monitoring using standardized mass flow

Tips & Best Practices

Verify input values carefully to ensure correct conversion results
Use this tool primarily for gasoline densities referenced at 15.5°C for accurate mass flow
Cross-check results with calibration standards if used for custody transfer or billing
Be mindful of changes in gasoline composition that may affect density and flow calculations

Limitations

The conversion assumes gasoline density standardized at 15.5°C; temperature changes require additional adjustments
Different gasoline formulations or impurities can influence mass flow accuracy
Not applicable for other liquid types without density correction at the specified temperature
