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

Because gasoline density depends on temperature, 15.5°C serves as a standard reference to ensure consistent and accurate mass flow calculations.

Can this conversion be used for liquids other than gasoline?

No, this conversion is specific for gasoline at 15.5°C and should not be applied to other fluids or different temperature conditions without adjustment.

What is one barrel (US) in gallons that this converter uses?

One US barrel equals exactly 42 US gallons, which corresponds to 158.987294928 litres.

What Is This Tool?

This tool enables conversion of flow measurements from barrel (US) per second, a volumetric rate used mainly in the oil industry, to pound per second, a mass flow rate for gasoline at 15.5°C that accounts for temperature effects on density.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow rate value in barrels (US) per second you wish to convert.
Select the input unit as barrel (US)/second and the output unit as pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
Click the convert button to see the equivalent mass flow rate in pounds per second considering gasoline at the reference temperature.

Key Features

Converts volumetric flow in barrels (US)/second to mass flow in pounds/second for gasoline at a reference temperature of 15.5°C.
Supports industry-standard measurements used in crude oil and gasoline monitoring.
Helps in accurate billing, inventory control, and engineering calculations by adjusting for temperature-dependent density.

Examples

2 barrel (US)/second equals 518.2800000446 pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
0.5 barrel (US)/second equals 129.5700000112 pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C).

Common Use Cases

Monitoring production rates of oil fields by converting flow to SI units for calculations.
Custody transfer and terminal measurements to convert volumetric flow into mass for billing and inventory purposes.
Performing engine fuel consumption tests reporting mass-based fuel delivery to reduce volume variation issues.

Tips & Best Practices

Always ensure gasoline is conditioned to 15.5 °C for accurate mass flow conversion.
Use the converter tool to avoid manual conversion errors when dealing with petroleum product flow rates.
Apply this conversion when precise inventory and billing accuracy are critical in petroleum operations.

Limitations

Conversion accuracy depends on gasoline being at 15.5 °C; different temperatures require adjustments.
Gasoline composition variations can affect density and thus influence conversion results.
This conversion is specific to gasoline at the stated temperature and should not be applied to other liquids or temperature conditions.
