Why is the temperature 15.5°C important in this conversion?

Gasoline density varies with temperature, so standardizing at 15.5°C ensures consistent mass measurements across applications.

Can this converter be used for fluids other than gasoline?

No, this conversion is specific to gasoline and accounts for its density at 15.5°C; other fluids require different density factors.

How does this conversion support petroleum industry operations?

It translates volumetric flow rates into standardized mass flow rates used for custody transfer, refinery balancing, and emissions monitoring.
