Why is the temperature 15.5°C used for gasoline?

15.5°C is the standard reference temperature for petroleum product volume and density correction, allowing consistent and comparable measurements.

Can this tool convert other fluids besides gasoline?

No, this conversion specifically uses gasoline density at 15.5°C; other fluids require separate density data and formulas.

What is the significance of converting cubic yard/second to pound/minute?

It allows translating volumetric flow common in hydraulics into a mass flow rate adjusted for temperature, important for billing, engineering, and accurate flow measurement.

What Is This Tool?

This converter changes flow measurements from cubic yard per second, a volumetric flow unit common in US customary systems, into pound per minute mass flow for gasoline standardized at 15.5°C, allowing precise and temperature-corrected flow analysis.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the value in cubic yards per second that you want to convert.
Select the target unit as pound per minute for gasoline at 15.5°C.
Click convert to get the equivalent mass flow rate using the standardized formula.

Key Features

Converts volumetric flow rates in cubic yard/second to mass flow rates in pounds per minute for gasoline at 15.5°C.
Incorporates temperature correction to ensure consistent comparison independent of thermal expansion.
Supports industry-specific needs such as custody transfer, refinery metering, and engineering calculations.

Examples

2 cubic yards/second equals 149541.57 pounds per minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
0.5 cubic yard/second equals 37385.39 pounds per minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C).

Common Use Cases

Expressing river or stream discharge and flood flows in U.S. customary units for water projects.
Custody transfer and invoicing of gasoline shipments with volume corrected to 15.5°C.
Refinery and terminal loading, unloading, and metering operations for consistent quality control.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the gasoline density temperature is close to 15.5°C for accurate conversion results.
Use this conversion to compare mass flow rates independent of volume changes due to temperature.
Apply this for engineering assessments like pipeline design or pump sizing where standardized flow rates are critical.

Limitations

Conversion assumes gasoline density at exactly 15.5°C; variations in temperature require additional corrections.
This conversion is specific to gasoline and is not valid for fluids with different densities without adjustment.
