Why is gasoline temperature fixed at 15.5°C in this conversion?

Using 15.5°C as the reference temperature standardizes the gasoline density, ensuring consistent and accurate mass flow calculations.

Can I use this conversion for other fluids besides gasoline?

No. This conversion specifically uses gasoline's density at 15.5°C and is not applicable to other fluids without appropriate density adjustments.

What should I do if gasoline temperature fluctuates during measurement?

Since this conversion assumes a fixed temperature, deviations may reduce accuracy. Consider temperature corrections or density adjustments for precise results.
