Why is gasoline measured at 15.5 °C for mass flow?

Measuring gasoline mass flow at 15.5 °C standardizes density for accurate custody transfer and engineering calculations by correcting temperature variations.

Can this converter be used for fuels other than gasoline?

No, this converter is specific to gasoline at 15.5 °C because the conversion depends on that temperature-referenced density.

What does cubic meter/day measure?

Cubic meter/day measures the volumetric flow rate of fluid passing a point over a 24-hour period.
