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

15.5°C is a standard reference temperature for petroleum volume and density correction to ensure consistent and comparable mass flow measurements.

Can this converter be used for fuels other than gasoline?

This tool specifically applies to gasoline at 15.5°C. Using it for other fuels requires adjusting for their particular density and temperature standards.

What should I consider when converting volumetric flow to mass flow?

It is important to ensure the density is referenced at the standard temperature and to understand that volumetric flow units often pertain to gases, so liquid fuel conversions need proper calibration.
