Why is gasoline density referenced at 15.5°C in this conversion?

The density of gasoline at 15.5°C serves as a standard reference temperature to account for temperature-dependent density changes, ensuring consistent mass flow calculations.

Can I use this conversion for fuels other than gasoline?

No, this specific conversion applies to gasoline with density referenced at 15.5°C. Using other fuels would require different density references.

Why is cubic meter/day considered a non-SI unit?

Cubic meter/day is a volumetric flow based on daily volume, not an SI base unit for flow, which limits its direct use in real-time flow measurements.

Examples

10 cubic meters/day equals 0.085570493 kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
50 cubic meters/day equals 0.427852465 kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C)

Common Use Cases

Converting municipal or industrial daily water volumes to mass flow rates is common, but here it applies to gasoline flow conversion
Fuel mass flow specification for engine combustion and turbine performance calculations
Custody transfer and billing at fuel terminals requiring mass-based measurement at reference temperatures
Calibration of flow meters and control systems in pipeline and refinery operations

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the gasoline temperature is close to 15.5°C for accurate conversions
Use this conversion when precise mass flow rates are needed rather than volumetric flow
Apply this tool for custody transfer to comply with fuel industry standards
Recheck values if fuel composition or temperature varies significantly

Limitations

Conversion accuracy depends on gasoline density at the specified temperature of 15.5°C
Variations in temperature or fuel composition affect the precision of the result
The cubic meter/day is a non-SI unit based on daily volumes, limiting real-time flow measurement usage
