What does cubic foot per second measure?

Cubic foot per second is a volumetric flow rate unit representing the volume of fluid passing a point every second.

Why is gasoline density referenced at 15.5°C?

15.5°C is a standard reference temperature for liquid fuels to standardize density measurements that affect mass flow calculations.

Can I use this conversion for other liquids?

This converter specifically applies to gasoline at 15.5°C and may not be accurate for other liquids or gasoline at different temperatures.

What Is This Tool?

This tool converts flow rates from cubic foot per second (ft³/s), an imperial volumetric unit, to kilogram per second (kg/s) specific to gasoline measured at 15.5°C. It enables users to translate volume-based flow into mass flow with reference to a standardized gasoline density.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the value in cubic foot per second you wish to convert
Select the target unit as kilogram per second for gasoline at 15.5°C
Initiate the conversion to receive the equivalent mass flow output

Key Features

Converts volumetric flow in cubic foot per second to mass flow in kilogram per second for gasoline at 15.5°C
Uses a standardized reference temperature to account for gasoline density variations
Supports applications in fuel management, custody transfer, and flow meter calibration
Browser-based and easy to operate with straightforward input and output

Examples

2 cubic foot/second equals approximately 41.87 kilogram/second of gasoline at 15.5°C
0.5 cubic foot/second converts to about 10.47 kilogram/second of gasoline at 15.5°C

Common Use Cases

Reporting flow in river and stream discharge studies using volumetric units
Designing pumps, pipes, and irrigation systems requiring flow rate conversion
Calculating fuel mass flow for engines and turbines utilizing gasoline density at 15.5°C
Custody transfer metering and billing where mass flow at a reference temperature is required
Calibration and testing of flow meters in refineries and fuel pipelines

Tips & Best Practices

Always ensure the gasoline temperature is close to 15.5°C for accurate conversion
Use the tool when precise mass flow values are needed from volumetric measurements
Be aware of possible deviations in gasoline composition that may affect results
Complement conversions with temperature and pressure corrections if necessary

Limitations

Conversion relies on gasoline density at exactly 15.5°C and may be inaccurate if temperature varies
Does not account for changes in temperature or pressure during fuel flow
Not suitable if gasoline composition differs significantly from the standard reference
