What Is This Tool?

This unit converter transforms flow rates from gallon (UK) per minute, a volumetric measure common in imperial unit systems, into pound per second mass flow rates for gasoline at a standardized temperature of 15.5°C. This helps users account for temperature-dependent density changes in gasoline flow measurements.

How to Use This Tool?

Input the flow value in gallon (UK)/minute.
Select gallon (UK)/minute as the input unit and pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C) as the output unit.
Initiate the conversion to receive the equivalent mass flow rate for gasoline.

Key Features

Converts volumetric flow (gallon (UK)/minute) to mass flow (pound/second) specifically for gasoline at 15.5°C.
Considers gasoline's temperature-based density when calculating mass flow rates.
Useful for various engineering, fuel distribution, and measurement scenarios involving gasoline.

Examples

10 gallon (UK)/minute equals 1.23497684 pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
5 gallon (UK)/minute equals 0.61748842 pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C).

Common Use Cases
