Why is the reference temperature 15.5°C used for gasoline conversions?

15.5°C is a standard temperature for petroleum volume and density corrections, ensuring mass flow rates are comparable despite thermal expansion.

Can I use this converter for liquids other than gasoline?

No, this conversion specifically applies to gasoline at 15.5°C and is not accurate for other fluids without adjusted density data.

What industries benefit most from this flow conversion?

Petroleum refining, fuel transportation, custody transfer, chemical processing, and environmental engineering frequently use this conversion.
