-
100 cubic centimeters/day equals 8.5570492642821e-7 kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
Common Use Cases
-
Measuring very slow liquid delivery or dosing in medical and laboratory contexts
-
Tracking leakage or permeation rates of gases or liquids through seals or membranes
-
Calculating precise fuel mass flow for engine combustion and turbine performance
-
Fuel custody transfer and billing where mass at a standard temperature is mandated
-
Calibration of flow meters and process controls in refineries and pipelines
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure the gasoline density corresponds to 15.5 °C for accurate conversion
-
Use sensitive instruments when measuring extremely small flow rates
-
Apply this conversion mainly for low flow rates rather than large-scale fuel processing
-
Verify temperature conditions if precise mass flow calculation is critical
Limitations
-
Assumes gasoline density is fixed at 15.5 °C; deviations affect results
-
Not suitable for flows involving variable fuel compositions or temperatures
-
Very low flow rates may involve uncertainties and require specialized measurement tools
-
Cubic centimeter/day unit is meant for very slow flows, limiting broad industrial application
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is gasoline density referenced at 15.5°C for this conversion?
-
Using gasoline density at 15.5°C provides a common reference temperature for liquid fuels, simplifying mass flow calculations and ensuring consistency in fuel measurement.
-
Can I use this conversion for flows larger than cubic centimeters per day?
-
This tool is designed for very small flow rates; larger flows may require different units and conversions better suited for higher volumes.
-
What industries benefit from converting cubic centimeter/day to kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C)?
-
Industries such as fuel distribution, engine combustion control, refinery process management, and laboratory measurement benefit from this conversion.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic centimeter/day

A flow unit representing one cubic centimeter of volume transferred per 24-hour period, used for very small continuous flow rates.
-
Kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate unit indicating kilograms of gasoline passing per second, with density referenced to 15.5°C to account for temperature-dependent variations.
-
Volumetric flow
-
The measurement of the volume of fluid moving through a system per unit of time.
-
Mass flow rate
-
The measurement of the mass of a substance passing through a system per unit of time.
