Why is gasoline density referenced at 15.5°C for this conversion?

Referencing density at 15.5°C provides a standard temperature, ensuring mass flow results are comparable and independent of thermal expansion effects.

Can this conversion be used for fluids other than gasoline?

No, this conversion specifically applies to gasoline at 15.5°C. Other fluids require different conversion factors accounting for their specific densities.

What should I consider when measuring very low volumetric flows?

Measurement precision and instrument calibration are critical, as small errors can significantly affect accuracy at such low flow rates.
