Suitable for applications in refining, fuel transportation, and custody transfer operations.
Provides direct conversion using a fixed rate without requiring manual calculations.
Browser-based and easy to use with clear input and output units.

Examples

5 cubic meters/day equals 5.659519316 pounds per minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
10 cubic meters/day equals 11.319038632 pounds per minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C).

Common Use Cases

Reporting municipal water inflow or outflow volumes on a daily basis.
Measuring industrial or cooling water throughput expressed per day.
Tracking hydrocarbon production or delivery volumes in cubic meters per day.
Custody transfer and invoicing of gasoline with volumes corrected to 15.5°C.
Metering during refinery or terminal loading/unloading operations.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure input values reflect accurate daily volumetric flow measurements.
Use this calculator when gasoline density is referenced to 15.5°C for consistency.
Cross-verify converted values especially when used for legal or commercial purposes.
Apply the conversion carefully considering the time units differ: daily volume versus per minute mass flow.
Understand that temperature variations or gasoline composition changes can affect conversion accuracy.

Limitations

Conversion is strictly valid for gasoline density referenced at 15.5°C (≈60°F).
Temperature deviations or different gasoline formulations may cause inaccuracies.
Converts volumetric flow over daily intervals to mass flow per minute, requiring attention to timing consistency.
