Why is the reference temperature 15.5°C used for gasoline?

15.5°C is a common standard reference temperature for liquid fuels, used to standardize gasoline density and allow consistent mass flow calculations.

Can I use this converter for other fluids besides gasoline?

No, this converter specifically uses gasoline’s density at 15.5°C, so it is not suitable for other liquids without appropriate adjustments.

How do measurement errors in volume flow affect the result?

Errors in measuring volumetric flow will directly impact the calculated mass flow rate, so instrument calibration is important for reliable conversions.
