What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms flow measurements from cubic meters per day to kilograms per hour for gasoline at 15.5°C, enabling precise volumetric-to-mass flow rate transformation using gasoline's density at standard temperature.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate in cubic meters per day (m³/d).
-
Select the conversion to kilogram per hour for gasoline at 15.5°C.
-
Review the converted result displayed in kilograms per hour (kg/h).
-
Use the conversion for billing, reporting, or calibration purposes.
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow rates (m³/day) to mass flow rates (kg/h) for gasoline at 15.5°C.
-
Uses a fixed conversion factor based on gasoline density at 15.5°C for accuracy.
-
Supports applications in petroleum custody transfer and fuel consumption reporting.
-
Browser-based and easy to use with quick calculation.
Examples
-
2 cubic meters/day equals 61.6107547 kilograms/hour of gasoline at 15.5°C.
-
0.5 cubic meter/day equals 15.4026887 kilograms/hour of gasoline at 15.5°C.
Common Use Cases
-
Reporting gasoline consumption standardized to a reference temperature.
-
Custody transfer and billing at fuel terminals and pipelines.
-
Calibrating flow meters and dispensers with density-corrected mass flow data.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always confirm gasoline temperature is near 15.5°C for accurate conversion.
-
Use this conversion only for gasoline, not other fluids or temperatures.
-
Ensure volumetric flow data is precise to maintain reliable mass flow results.
Limitations
-
Assumes gasoline density at exactly 15.5°C; deviations affect accuracy.
-
Not applicable to other fluids or temperatures without adjustments.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the temperature 15.5°C important in this conversion?
-
The temperature 15.5°C is used as a standard to reference gasoline density, ensuring consistent and accurate conversion from volume to mass.
-
Can I use this conversion for fluids other than gasoline?
-
No, this conversion factor is specific to gasoline at 15.5°C and is not valid for other fluids.
-
What does cubic meter/day measure?
-
It measures a volumetric flow rate representing one cubic meter of fluid passing a point or being produced/consumed over a 24-hour period.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic meter/day [m³/d]
-
