What Is This Tool?
This unit converter allows you to change flow measurements from gallon (UK) per minute, a volumetric unit common in imperial systems, into kilogram per day for gasoline at 15.5°C, a mass flow rate standardized by temperature. It is designed to support accurate measurement, monitoring, and reporting in fuel-related applications.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value in gallon (UK)/minute that you want to convert
-
Select the units: from gallon (UK)/minute to kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
Click the convert button to see the corresponding flow value expressed in kilogram/day
-
Use the results for your flow rate calculations, reporting, or inventory tasks
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow in gallon (UK)/minute to mass flow in kilogram/day for gasoline at 15.5°C
-
Supports petroleum industry-specific requirements such as custody transfer and inventory control
-
Accounts for temperature corrections by referencing gasoline density at 15.5°C
-
Presents clear, easy-to-understand results suitable for engineering and process documentation
-
Browser-based tool requiring no installation or special equipment
Examples
-
1 gallon (UK)/minute equals approximately 4839.92 kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
2 gallon (UK)/minute corresponds to about 9679.84 kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
Common Use Cases
-
Sizing pumps and hoses in regions using imperial gallons for accurate water supply or firefighting systems
-
Reporting gasoline delivery quantities by mass for custody transfer and invoicing
-
Evaluating and reconciling fuel inventory flows at depots and refineries
-
Performing emission calculations and process mass balances in fuel distribution systems
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always confirm that the gasoline density corresponds to 15.5°C for valid conversions
-
Use the tool for gasoline flow rate conversions specifically; verify if using other fluids
-
Combine this conversion with proper temperature and density corrections in practical applications
-
Record converted values carefully for custody and compliance documentation
-
Consult engineering standards when sizing pumping or flow control equipment based on conversion results
Limitations
-
Conversion depends on gasoline density at a fixed temperature of 15.5°C and may not be accurate if temperature varies
-
Gallon (UK)/minute measures volumetric flow and requires proper temperature and density corrections to yield exact mass flow
-
This tool's conversion applies specifically to gasoline and is not accurate for other fluids without adjustment
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the temperature 15.5°C important in this conversion?
-
The temperature of 15.5°C is used as a standard reference to correct gasoline density, ensuring consistent and accurate mass-to-volume flow rate conversions for custody and inventory purposes.
-
Can I use this conversion for fluids other than gasoline?
-
No, this conversion is specifically calibrated for gasoline at 15.5°C and may not provide accurate results for other fluids without adjustments.
-
What does gallon (UK)/minute measure?
-
Gallon (UK)/minute measures the volumetric flow rate indicating how many UK (imperial) gallons of fluid pass a point each minute, commonly used where imperial units apply.
Key Terminology
-
Gallon (UK)/minute
-
A volumetric flow unit representing the number of UK gallons of fluid delivered per minute, commonly used in imperial unit systems.
-
Kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate unit indicating the mass of gasoline passing a point each day, adjusted for gasoline density at a standard temperature of 15.5°C.
-
Custody transfer
-
The process of transferring ownership and measurement of fluid quantities, often requiring standardized units and temperature corrections.
