Why must the gasoline be at 15.5 °C for this conversion?

The conversion relies on gasoline density at 15.5 °C to accurately translate volume flow into mass flow, accommodating temperature-related density variations.

Can I use this converter for liquids other than gasoline?

No, this converter is specific to gasoline at 15.5 °C. Different fluids or temperatures require other density corrections.

What types of applications benefit from this conversion?

Applications include engine testing, fuel consumption measurement, custody transfer, leak detection, and calibration of low-flow devices in petroleum and automotive engineering.

Examples

Convert 10 cubic inch/hour to pound/second: 10 × 0.0000074194324204337 = 0.0000741943242 pound/s.
Convert 100 cubic inch/hour to pound/second: 100 × 0.0000074194324204337 = 0.000741943242 pound/s.

Common Use Cases

Measuring leak rates in sealed systems and vacuum chambers with very low flow volumes.
Performing fuel consumption and engine test measurements reporting mass flow.
Custody transfer and terminal measurement where volume is converted to mass for inventory control.
Calibrating low-flow pumps, meters, and precise dosing in laboratory or microfluidic setups.
Sizing and specifying fuel pumps and delivery systems in petroleum and automotive fields.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure gasoline is conditioned to the reference temperature of 15.5 °C for accurate conversion.
Use this conversion specifically for gasoline; other fluids require different density considerations.
Account for potential measurement uncertainties when working with very low flow rates.
Double-check units before converting to maintain consistency in calculations.
Use the tool for both practical engineering needs and laboratory precision dosing applications.

Limitations

Conversion accuracy depends on gasoline temperature being at 15.5 °C due to density changes.
This converter applies only to gasoline at the specified reference temperature.
Low volumetric flow rates in cubic inch/hour may have relatively higher measurement uncertainties.
Not suitable for converting flows of other fluids or at different temperatures without proper adjustment.
