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

15.5°C is a reference temperature used to standardize gasoline density, ensuring accurate mass flow calculations despite temperature-dependent variations.

Can this conversion be used for fluids other than gasoline?

No, this specific conversion applies only to gasoline at 15.5°C due to its unique density characteristics and cannot be directly used for other fluids.

What is the main difference between volumetric and mass flow in this context?

Volumetric flow measures the volume of fluid per time, while mass flow measures the weight of fluid per time. This conversion changes volumetric flow in ft³/h to mass flow in pound/second for gasoline.
