Why is 15.5°C used as the reference temperature?

15.5°C is a standard reference temperature in petroleum measurement to correct volumetric data for consistent mass conversions during custody transfer and inventory management.

Can this conversion be used for other liquids besides gasoline?

No, this converter is tailored specifically for gasoline at 15.5°C due to its density properties and should not be used for other fluids without adjustments.

What is one cubic yard per minute in SI units?

One cubic yard per minute is approximately equal to 0.0127426 cubic meters per second.

Examples

Convert 2 cubic yards per minute: results in 1,627,941.95 kilogram/day for gasoline at 15.5°C.
Convert 0.5 cubic yard per minute: results in 406,985.49 kilogram/day for gasoline at 15.5°C.

Common Use Cases

Determining gasoline flow rates for custody transfer and invoicing in pipeline or terminal operations.
Monitoring and reporting fuel inventory throughput at refineries or distribution centers.
Calculating fuel consumption or emissions where mass flow standardized to 15.5°C is necessary.
Estimating volumetric to mass flow conversion in petroleum processing and environmental monitoring.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure that the gasoline being measured is at or corrected to 15.5°C to maintain accuracy.
Use this conversion specifically for gasoline; do not apply it to other fluids without appropriate adjustments.
Verify steady flow conditions to improve reliability of mass flow calculations.
Cross-check converted values with process measurements for consistency.

Limitations

Conversion relies on gasoline density referenced at 15.5°C; deviations affect results.
Not applicable for other fluids without adjusting for their density and temperature.
Accuracy assumes steady flow and constant temperature, which may not hold in all scenarios.
