Why is the reference temperature of 15.5°C important?

The reference temperature standardizes gasoline density to ensure consistent mass–volume conversions, which is crucial for custody transfer and inventory measurements.

Can I use this conversion for fluids other than gasoline?

No, this tool is designed specifically for gasoline at 15.5°C. Different fluids or temperatures require separate conversion factors.

What should I consider for highly accurate flow measurements?

For high precision, real-time density and temperature compensation beyond the fixed conversion factor may be necessary.
