Common Use Cases
-
Reporting very low infusion rates or microfluidic flow measurements in medical or scientific applications.
-
Custody transfer and metering of gasoline in pipelines, terminals, or tanker trucks.
-
Specifying fuel consumption rates for engines, generators, and industrial burners using mass flow references.
-
Calibrating and verifying flow meter accuracy for fuel delivery systems under temperature-controlled conditions.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure the gasoline density corresponds to the standard temperature of 15.5°C for accurate conversions.
-
Use precise measurement instruments especially when dealing with very low flow rates for reliability.
-
Double-check unit selections to avoid errors in engineering and custody transfer calculations.
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes gasoline properties standardized at 15.5°C; variations may lead to inaccuracies.
-
Not applicable for fluids other than gasoline or temperatures different from the specified standard.
-
Accuracy depends on the precision of the measuring devices used at low flow rates.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does cubic centimeter/hour measure?
-
It measures volumetric flow rate representing one cubic centimeter of fluid passing per hour, used for very low steady flow measurements.
-
Why is the gasoline temperature referenced at 15.5°C?
-
The 15.5°C standardization corrects for density and temperature variations important in custody transfer and engineering calculations for gasoline.
-
Can this conversion be used for other liquids or temperatures?
-
No, this conversion specifically applies to gasoline at 15.5°C and may not be valid for other fluids or conditions.
