Why is the gasoline mass flow referenced at 15.5°C?

Referencing at 15.5°C standardizes fuel density to account for thermal expansion, ensuring consistent mass-to-volume conversions across different conditions.

Can this converter be used for high flow rates?

This conversion is primarily intended for low flow rates due to the relatively small size of gallon (UK) per day units.

What happens if the gasoline temperature differs from 15.5°C?

Variations from the 15.5°C reference can affect the accuracy of the conversion because the gasoline density changes with temperature.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms flow rate measurements from gallon (UK) per day to kilogram per minute for gasoline referenced at 15.5°C. It simplifies translating low-volume imperial flow rates into standardized mass flow rates used in fuel industry applications.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow rate value in gallon (UK) per day.
Select the input unit as gallon (UK)/day.
Choose the output unit kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
Run the conversion to get the equivalent mass flow rate.

Key Features

Converts low-volume flow rates from UK gallons per day to gasoline mass flow rates in kilograms per minute.
Based on gasoline density standardized at 15.5°C for consistent mass–volume conversion.
Browser-based and easy to use without requiring complex calculations.
Supports industry use cases like fuel custody transfer, meter calibration, and consumption testing.

Examples

10 gallon (UK)/day equals 0.02334067 kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
100 gallon (UK)/day converts to 0.2334067 kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C).

Common Use Cases

Calculating accurate fuel mass flow in terminals or pipelines for billing and custody transfer.
Calibrating fuel flowmeters and managing loading or unloading of tanker trucks.
Testing vehicle and engine fuel consumption referenced to a standardized temperature.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure fuel temperature and composition correspond to the 15.5°C reference to maintain accuracy.
Use this conversion primarily for small-scale flow rates or low-volume dosing applications.
Verify flow meter calibration regularly when using converted mass flow rates for billing or testing.

Limitations

Conversion relies on gasoline density at 15.5°C; deviations in temperature or fuel composition can reduce accuracy.
Suitable mostly for low flow rates due to the small magnitude of gallon (UK)/day units.
Results are valid only if temperature and fuel properties match the standardized reference.
