Why is the temperature 15.5°C used for this conversion?

The temperature of 15.5°C serves as a standard reference for gasoline density to ensure consistent mass–volume conversions in petroleum measurement.

Can this converter be used for other fuels besides gasoline?

No. This tool is designed specifically for gasoline at 15.5°C, and using it for other fuels or temperatures may produce inaccurate results.

What is the significance of converting volumetric flow to mass flow?

Converting to mass flow accounts for fuel density and temperature, providing accurate measurement for custody transfer and inventory where volumetric units alone are insufficient.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms flow rate units from cubic inch per second (in^3/s), a volumetric measure in imperial units, to kilogram per day for gasoline at 15.5°C, a standardized mass flow rate used in fuel industry practices.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow rate value in cubic inch per second (in^3/s).
Select the target unit as kilogram per day for gasoline at 15.5°C.
Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent mass flow rate.

Key Features

Supports conversion between volumetric and mass flow rates specifically for gasoline at a standardized temperature.
Uses established industry conversion rates suitable for custody transfer and inventory management.
Ideal for applications where flow must be measured and reported with temperature-corrected mass units.

Examples

2 in^3/s converts to approximately 2093.55 kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
0.5 in^3/s converts to approximately 523.39 kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)

Common Use Cases

Translating volumetric flow measurements in hydraulic or fuel systems to mass flow reflecting gasoline's actual mass at 15.5°C.
Supporting custody transfer, invoicing, and inventory control for gasoline delivered through pipelines or tankers.
Monitoring refinery and fuel depot throughput with temperature-standardized flow values.

Tips & Best Practices

Always consider the reference temperature of 15.5°C when interpreting mass flow results.
Use this conversion for gasoline only, as variations in fuel type or temperature require different adjustments.
Ensure consistent unit selection to avoid errors in flow measurement reporting.

Limitations

Conversion depends on gasoline density standardized at 15.5°C; temperature or fuel composition changes can affect results.
Not applicable to fuels other than gasoline or those measured at temperatures different from 15.5°C without modification.
