What does converting from gallon (US)/day to kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C) mean?

It means transforming a volumetric flow measurement into a mass flow quantity standardized to a specific temperature to enable accurate custody and inventory calculations for gasoline.

Why is 15.5°C used as the reference temperature for gasoline?

15.5°C is a standard temperature in petroleum measurement that helps correct volumetric data to a consistent basis for mass flow comparisons and custody transfer.

Can I use this converter for fluids other than gasoline?

This tool is designed specifically for gasoline flow conversions with density referenced at 15.5°C and may not be accurate for other fluids without proper density adjustments.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms volumetric flow rates measured in gallons (US) per day into mass flow rates expressed in kilograms per day for gasoline at a standard temperature of 15.5°C. It helps standardize gasoline flow measurements for applications like custody transfer and inventory management.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow rate value in gallon (US)/day unit
Select gallon (US)/day as the source unit and kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C) as the target unit
Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent flow rate in kilograms per day
Use the result for custody transfer, inventory, or process flow calculations

Key Features

Converts gallon (US)/day to kilogram/day with reference to gasoline density at 15.5°C
Uses a precise fixed conversion rate for accurate mass flow calculation
Supports applications in petroleum refining, fuel transportation, and inventory control
Browser-based and easy to use without requiring specialized software

Examples

5 gallon (US)/day equals 13.9933 kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
10 gallon (US)/day equals 27.9866 kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)

Common Use Cases

Reporting household or per-capita daily water consumption in the US (for gallon (US)/day context)
Custody transfer and invoicing for gasoline deliveries by pipeline or tanker
Inventory reconciliation and throughput monitoring at fuel depots and refineries
Calculating fuel consumption and emissions with temperature-corrected mass flow values
Describing small-scale pumping test flows or chemical dosing in water-treatment

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure gasoline flow measurements are referenced to 15.5°C for correct mass conversion
Use this tool only for gasoline flows to ensure relevant density assumptions
Cross-check results when temperature or gasoline composition may vary
Use consistent units and reference temperatures when comparing or reporting fuel flows
Apply the converter in petroleum-related industries for process control and billing

Limitations

This conversion assumes gasoline density at exactly 15.5°C; changes in temperature affect accuracy
Not suitable for fluids other than gasoline without adjusting for their specific densities
Accurate volumetric to mass conversions require stable temperature and density conditions
