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

The temperature 15.5°C is a standard reference for gasoline density to ensure consistent mass flow measurements and correct performance or custody calculations.

Can this conversion be used for other fluids besides gasoline?

No, this conversion applies specifically to gasoline at 15.5°C; other fluids require different density corrections and conversion factors.

What should I do if my measurement temperature differs from 15.5°C?

You may need additional correction factors or calibrations to adjust for temperature and composition variations for accurate mass flow results.
