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

15.5°C is a standard temperature used to reference gasoline density, ensuring consistent and comparable mass flow measurements.

Can I use this conversion for fuels other than gasoline?

No, this conversion is specific to gasoline at 15.5°C because the density differs for other fuels.

How do temperature changes affect the conversion accuracy?

Deviations from 15.5°C alter gasoline density, which can lead to inaccuracies in the mass flow calculation.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms volumetric flow rates measured in US gallons per day into mass flow rates in kilograms per hour specifically for gasoline at a reference temperature of 15.5°C. It ensures accurate conversion by factoring in gasoline's density at this standard temperature.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow value in gallon (US)/day units.
Select 'kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C)' as the target unit.
Click convert to get the mass flow rate standardized to gasoline density at 15.5°C.

Key Features

Converts volumetric flow in gal (US)/day to mass flow in kilogram/hour for gasoline at 15.5°C.
Uses a fixed conversion rate based on gasoline density at the reference temperature.
Ideal for custody transfer, fuel consumption reporting, and flow meter calibration.

Examples

10 gal (US)/day converts to approximately 1.166 kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
50 gal (US)/day converts to around 5.83 kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C).

Common Use Cases

Calculating gasoline mass flow for accurate billing and custody transfer at fuel terminals.
Standardizing fuel consumption measurements during engine performance testing.
Verifying and calibrating flow meters and fuel dispensers with density-corrected mass data.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the gasoline temperature is close to 15.5°C to maintain conversion accuracy.
Use this conversion specifically for gasoline; other fuels require different density adjustments.
Verify measurement units before converting to avoid errors in flow data.

Limitations

Conversion accuracy depends on gasoline being at exactly 15.5°C; temperature variations affect results.
Applicable only for gasoline; using with other fluids without adjusting for density is inaccurate.
