Why is gasoline density referenced at 15.5°C important?

Referencing gasoline density at 15.5°C standardizes mass flow calculations because fuel density varies with temperature.

Can I use this tool for other fuels or temperatures?

This converter is specific to gasoline at 15.5°C and assumes its density at this temperature; other fuels or temperatures require different conversions.

What units do I enter and receive in this conversion?

You enter volumetric flow in cubic inch per second and receive mass flow in kilogram per second, both for gasoline at 15.5°C.

What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to transform flow measurements from cubic inch per second, a volumetric unit in imperial measurements, into kilogram per second mass flow specifically for gasoline at a controlled temperature of 15.5°C. It accounts for gasoline density at this reference temperature to ensure meaningful mass flow values.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the volumetric flow value in cubic inches per second
Select the target unit: kilogram per second (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
View the converted mass flow rate automatically displayed
Use the results for performance analysis, billing, or calibration

Key Features

Supports conversion between volumetric and mass flow rates for gasoline at 15.5°C
Uses a fixed conversion factor based on gasoline density at a standardized temperature
Ideal for flows expressed in cubic inches per second converting to kilograms per second
Suitable for applications involving fuel measurement and flow calibration

Examples

Convert 10 in³/s to mass flow: 10 × 0.0121154326 = 0.121154326 kg/s (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
Convert 50 in³/s to mass flow: 50 × 0.0121154326 = 0.60577163 kg/s (Gasoline at 15.5°C)

Common Use Cases

Fuel mass flow specification for engines and turbines using gasoline density at 15.5°C
Custody transfer and metering at fuel terminals requiring mass flow accuracy
Calibration and testing of flow meters and control systems in fuel pipelines
Converting small volumetric flow rates for manufacturing or laboratory measurements

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the gasoline temperature is near 15.5°C for accurate conversion
Use this tool for systems using imperial volumetric units to get mass flow rates
Apply conversion results primarily to relatively small flow rates where density assumptions hold
Cross-check measurements in critical fuel flow or billing applications

Limitations

Assumes gasoline density is referenced only at 15.5°C; temperature changes can affect accuracy
Limited to small flow rate ranges often encountered in precise industrial or laboratory settings
Does not account for gasoline composition variations that may alter density
Intended only for converting from cubic inch/second to kilogram/second (gasoline)
