Why is the temperature 15.5°C important in this conversion?

15.5°C is a reference temperature used to standardize gasoline density, ensuring consistent and accurate mass flow calculations.

Can this conversion be used for fuels other than gasoline?

No, this specific conversion applies only to gasoline and assumes the fuel has properties conditioned to 15.5°C.

What is the main difference between the two units involved?

Cubic inch/minute measures volumetric flow rate, while pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C) measures mass flow rate considering gasoline’s density at a set temperature.
