What Is This Tool?
This tool converts flow rates measured in cubic centimeters per day into kilograms per day specifically for gasoline standardized at 15.5°C. It helps translate very slow volumetric flows into accurate mass flow rates referenced to a common temperature.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate value in cubic centimeter/day representing a volumetric flow
-
Select cubic centimeter/day as the input unit
-
Choose kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C) as the output unit
-
Click convert to obtain the equivalent mass flow standardized to 15.5°C
-
Use the result for fuel accounting, invoicing, or process control
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow (cm³/day) to mass flow (kg/day) for gasoline at 15.5°C
-
Standardizes gasoline flow measurements to a reference temperature for consistency
-
Supports measurements of very small continuous flow rates
-
Useful for fuel custody transfer, inventory, and process calculations
-
Provides consistent mass basis for pipeline, tanker, and terminal operations
Examples
-
Converting 100 cubic centimeter/day yields 0.07393291 kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
Converting 500 cubic centimeter/day corresponds to 0.36966455 kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
Common Use Cases
-
Fuel custody transfer and invoicing where gasoline flow is measured by mass at 15.5°C
-
Inventory reconciliation and flow reporting at fuel depots and refineries
-
Calculating fuel consumption or emissions with temperature-corrected mass flow rates
-
Detecting and quantifying small-scale leakage or permeation in containers
-
Monitoring slow and precise dosing or infusion in clinical or laboratory settings
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure flow values are input accurately to reflect small continuous volumetric flows
-
Use this conversion to standardize gasoline mass flows for consistent reporting
-
Consider the reference temperature of 15.5°C when comparing different measurements
-
Apply the results carefully in custody transfer to maintain invoicing accuracy
-
Be aware of possible deviations in density with temperature or fuel composition changes
Limitations
-
The conversion relies on gasoline density standardized at 15.5°C; deviations may affect accuracy
-
Very small flow rates in cubic centimeter/day might be less relevant for large-scale bulk operations
-
Temperature and compositional changes in gasoline can alter actual mass despite standardized conversion
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is gasoline flow standardized at 15.5°C for this conversion?
-
Standardizing at 15.5°C allows consistent mass–volume conversion by correcting volumetric measurements to a common temperature basis widely used in petroleum measurement.
-
When should I use this converter?
-
Use it when you need to convert very slow volumetric flow rates in cubic centimeters per day to mass flow rates in kilograms per day for gasoline, particularly for custody transfer or inventory management.
-
Does this conversion apply to fuels other than gasoline?
-
No, this conversion specifically applies to gasoline with density referenced at 15.5°C and should not be used for other fuels without appropriate adjustments.
