Why is gasoline mass flow referenced to 15.5°C?

Referencing gasoline mass flow to 15.5°C allows standardization to a common temperature, enabling consistent volume and density correction across measurements.

Can this conversion be used for fluids other than gasoline?

This conversion is specific to gasoline at 15.5°C and may not yield accurate results for other liquids or fuels without adjustment.

What does gallon (UK)/day measure compared to pound/minute?

Gallon (UK)/day measures volumetric flow over 24 hours, while pound/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) measures mass flow rate per minute considering temperature-corrected density.

Key Features

Converts imperial volumetric flow to temperature-referenced gasoline mass flow.
Applies a standardized conversion factor based on gasoline density at 15.5°C.
Supports accurate handling of low-volume liquid flow measurements.

Examples

10 gal (UK)/day converts to 0.051457368 pound/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
100 gal (UK)/day converts to 0.51457368 pound/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C).

Common Use Cases

Custody transfer and invoicing for gasoline shipments with temperature correction.
Pipeline design, pump selection, and environmental emissions calculations involving gasoline mass flow.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure gasoline density corresponds to 15.5°C for accurate mass flow results.
Use this conversion mainly for gasoline standardized at the reference temperature.
Double-check units to avoid mixing volumetric and mass flow measures.

Limitations

Conversion accuracy depends on gasoline being at 15.5°C and consistent composition.
Different fluids or fuels may require alternative conversion factors.
Volumetric and mass flow differ; density assumptions must be valid.
