Why must the gasoline temperature be standardized to 15.5°C?

Standardizing gasoline temperature to 15.5°C accounts for density changes due to temperature, ensuring consistent mass flow measurements and comparisons.

Can this tool convert volumetric flow rates for fuels other than gasoline?

No, this conversion is specific to gasoline at 15.5°C and does not apply to other fuels or fluids with different densities.

What applications benefit from this cubic meter/second to pound/day conversion?

It is useful in petroleum industry processes including custody transfer, refinery throughput calculations, and regulated fuel consumption or emission reporting.
