Why is the gasoline temperature specified at 15.5°C?

The 15.5°C temperature standardizes gasoline density to ensure consistent and accurate mass flow calculations during conversion.

Can I use this conversion for US gallons per minute?

No, this tool specifically converts units based on UK (imperial) gallons per minute and is not directly applicable to US gallons.

What industries commonly use this conversion?

It is widely used in petroleum custody transfer, fuel metering at terminals and tanker trucks, and industrial fuel consumption monitoring.

Supports use cases in petroleum custody transfer and fuel metering
Displays conversions based on a fixed conversion rate
Browser-based and easy to use without installation

Examples

2 gallon (UK)/minute equals 889.1833245512 pound/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
0.5 gallon (UK)/minute equals 222.2958311378 pound/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C)

Common Use Cases

Calculating gasoline flow for custody-transfer in pipelines and terminals
Specifying fuel supply or consumption rates in engines and generators
Sizing and verifying flow meters and fuel delivery systems at standard temperature
Reporting flow rates in industrial processes using imperial units
Supporting plumbing and pump capacities where imperial gallons are applied

Tips & Best Practices

Always confirm gasoline temperature is close to 15.5°C for accurate conversions
Use this converter when working with UK gallons, not US gallons
Apply proper corrections if fuel composition or temperature varies substantially
Verify flow meter calibration with mass-based assessments when possible
Use consistent units throughout engineering and custody documentation

Limitations

Accuracy depends on gasoline density referenced at exactly 15.5°C
Not suitable for gasoline at significantly different temperatures or compositions
Limited applicability outside regions using UK (imperial) gallons
Further conversions needed when working with US gallons or other volume units
