Why is gasoline density referenced to 15.5°C?

Using 15.5°C as a reference standardizes the mass flow calculations by accounting for temperature-dependent density changes common in fuel measurement.

Can this tool convert high flow rates using cubic inch/hour?

The cubic inch/hour unit is intended for very low volume flows; higher flow rates may be better expressed in other units for precision.

Does this conversion apply to other types of fuels?

No, this conversion specifically applies to gasoline with density measured at 15.5°C. Different fuels require different references and conversion factors.
