What Is This Tool?
This unit converter helps translate flow rates expressed in gallon (UK) per hour to kilogram per minute specifically for gasoline at the reference temperature of 15.5°C, ensuring consistency across measurements involving gasoline mass and volume.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate value in gallon (UK) per hour.
-
Select gallon (UK)/hour as the input unit and kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) as the output unit.
-
Initiate the conversion to get the equivalent mass flow rate of gasoline at 15.5°C.
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow rates in imperial gallons per hour to mass flow rates in kilograms per minute.
-
Applies a standardized reference temperature of 15.5°C for gasoline density correction.
-
Supports use cases in fuel custody transfer, equipment calibration, and fuel consumption testing.
Examples
-
Convert 10 gal (UK)/h: 10 × 0.0560176072 = 0.560176072 kg/min (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
Convert 5 gal (UK)/h: 5 × 0.0560176072 = 0.280088036 kg/min (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying low-volume pump rates and chemical dosing in UK water-treatment systems.
-
Custody transfer and invoicing of gasoline at terminals or pipelines using mass references at 15.5°C.
-
Calibrating fuel flowmeters and verifying tanker truck loading with density-standardized measurements.
-
Engine and vehicle fuel consumption testing with mass flow expressed at a standard reference temperature.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use this conversion for flows involving gasoline measured at 15.5°C to ensure consistent comparisons.
-
Confirm the source fuel density matches the reference temperature for accurate conversions.
-
Avoid applying this conversion to fluids other than gasoline or at temperatures differing from 15.5°C.
Limitations
-
The conversion relies on gasoline density at 15.5°C; variations in temperature or composition impact accuracy.
-
Not suitable for converting flows of fluids other than gasoline or gasoline at different temperatures without adjustments.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is gasoline flow measured at 15.5°C referenced in mass units?
-
Using gasoline mass flow at 15.5°C accounts for temperature-dependent density changes, enabling consistent comparisons and billing.
-
Can this conversion be used for fluids other than gasoline?
-
No, this tool specifically applies to gasoline at 15.5°C and should not be used for other fluids or temperatures.
-
What is the equivalence rate from gallon (UK)/hour to kilogram/minute for gasoline?
-
One gallon (UK) per hour equals 0.0560176072 kilogram per minute for gasoline at 15.5°C.
Key Terminology
-
Gallon (UK)/hour [gal (UK)/h]
-
A volumetric flow rate expressing one imperial gallon of fluid per hour, where 1 UK gallon equals 4.54609 liters.
-
Kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate measuring gasoline in kilograms per minute, standardized to its density at 15.5°C to account for temperature effects.
-
Reference temperature (15.5°C)
-
A standardized temperature used to ensure consistent density and mass–volume conversions for gasoline.
