Why is gasoline flow converted to kilogram/day at 15.5°C?

Gasoline density is standardized at 15.5°C to correct volumetric measurements to a common temperature basis for consistent custody transfer and inventory management.

Can this conversion be used for fluids other than gasoline?

No, this conversion specifically relates to gasoline at 15.5°C and its density reference; other fluids require different conversions.
