Why is the conversion specific to gasoline at 15.5ºC?

The mass flow measurement references gasoline density at 15.5ºC to provide standardized custody and engineering calculations.

Can this tool convert other fuels using the same method?

No, it is tailored for gasoline at the standard temperature; other fuels need their own density-based conversions.

What does cubic yard per second measure?

It measures volumetric flow as the volume of fluid passing a point every second expressed in cubic yards.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms flow measurements from cubic yard per second, a volumetric unit common in US customary systems, into pound per hour for gasoline at 15.5ºC, a mass flow unit referencing standard temperature and density.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow value in cubic yard per second to convert
Select the output unit as pound per hour (Gasoline at 15.5ºC)
Execute the conversion to obtain the corresponding mass flow rate
Use the results for engineering calculations or fuel flow assessments

Key Features

Converts volumetric flow (yd³/s) to mass flow (lb/h) for gasoline at 15.5ºC
Utilizes a precise conversion factor specific to gasoline density at standard temperature
Supports applications in fuel custody transfer, metering, and performance analysis
Facilitates calibration of flow meters needing temperature-corrected mass flow data
User-friendly and suitable for engineering and industrial contexts

Examples

0.5 yd³/s = 2,243,123.53 lb/h (Gasoline at 15.5ºC)
2 yd³/s = 8,972,494.13 lb/h (Gasoline at 15.5ºC)

Common Use Cases

Calculating gasoline flow rates by mass for custody transfer in pipelines and terminals
Determining fuel consumption and supply rates for engines and industrial burners
Sizing open-channel flows and irrigation systems using volumetric data converted to mass flow
Calibrating flow meters that require temperature-referenced gasoline mass flow measurements

Tips & Best Practices

Always verify that the gasoline density corresponds to the standard 15.5ºC temperature before converting
Use this conversion only for gasoline; avoid applying it to other fuels without adjustment
Ensure volumetric flow rates are accurate and consistent with engineering standards
Apply the tool’s output for relevant custody transfer or performance analyses where mass flow is required

Limitations

Conversions assume gasoline is at 15.5ºC; temperature or composition changes impact accuracy
Specific to gasoline and cannot be directly used for other fluids without proper corrections
Volumetric to mass conversions require precise knowledge of fuel density at the reference temperature
