-
10 cubic centimeter/minute = 10.646338414 kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
Common Use Cases
-
Custody transfer and invoicing for gasoline deliveries where flow is reported by mass at 15.5°C
-
Inventory tracking and throughput monitoring at fuel depots and refineries
-
Calculations of fuel consumption and emissions with temperature-corrected mass flow rates
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure volumetric flow measurements are accurately calibrated before converting
-
Use this conversion only for gasoline or fluids with similar density at 15.5°C
-
Maintain stable temperature conditions to uphold conversion relevance
-
Understand that deviations in gasoline composition or temperature can affect results
Limitations
-
Conversion applies only to gasoline density referenced at 15.5°C
-
Not suitable for fluids differing significantly in composition or temperature from gasoline
-
Accuracy depends on stable temperature and proper volumetric flow calibration
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the temperature 15.5°C important in this conversion?
-
The reference temperature of 15.5°C standardizes gasoline density, allowing consistent mass–volume conversions for custody transfer and inventory.
-
Can this converter be used for fluids other than gasoline?
-
This tool is designed for gasoline or fluids with density and composition similar to gasoline at 15.5°C; using it for other fluids may reduce accuracy.
-
What does 1 cubic centimeter per minute represent?
-
It is a volumetric flow rate representing one cubic centimeter (or one milliliter) of fluid passing a point each minute.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic centimeter/minute
-
A volumetric flow unit indicating how many cubic centimeters of fluid pass a point each minute; equivalent to milliliters per minute.
-
Kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate measuring the mass of gasoline passing a point each day, standardized for gasoline density at 15.5°C.
-
Custody transfer
-
The process of transferring ownership or responsibility of fuel quantities, often requiring standardized flow measurements for accuracy.
