What Is This Tool?
This tool converts volumetric flow rates measured in UK gallons per hour to mass flow rates expressed as kilograms per hour for gasoline at a reference temperature of 15.5°C. It helps users translate volume-based measurements into mass-based ones using gasoline's standard density.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value measured in gallon (UK) per hour
-
Select the input unit as gallon (UK)/hour and the output unit as kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
Initiate the conversion to obtain the mass flow rate expressed in kilogram/hour
Key Features
-
Converts gallon (UK)/hour to kilogram/hour based on gasoline density at 15.5°C
-
Supports flow measurement conversions used in fuel custody and equipment monitoring
-
Calculates mass flow from volumetric flow to assist in accurate accounting and reporting
Examples
-
2 gal (UK)/h is converted to approximately 6.7221 kg/h (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
0.5 gal (UK)/h is converted to approximately 1.6805 kg/h (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
Common Use Cases
-
Measuring low-volume pump rates or chemical dosing in UK water treatment systems
-
Reporting fuel consumption adjusted for gasoline density in engine testing
-
Custody transfer and billing of gasoline in terminals or pipelines standardized at 15.5°C
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure temperature conditions are stable near 15.5°C for accurate density-based conversion
-
Use this conversion specifically for gasoline due to its density reference
-
Verify flow meter calibration to maintain measurement precision before converting
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes gasoline density at a fixed temperature of 15.5°C only
-
Not applicable for other fuels or liquids without density adjustments
-
Accuracy depends on correct measurement of flow and temperature stability
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why does the conversion use gasoline density at 15.5°C?
-
Using gasoline density at 15.5°C ensures consistent and standardized mass flow calculations across conditions typical for custody transfer and fuel metering.
