Why is gasoline density standardized at 15.5°C in this conversion?

Standardizing density at 15.5°C accounts for thermal expansion, enabling consistent and comparable mass–volume flow measurements.

Can this conversion be used for fluids other than gasoline?

No, this conversion applies only to gasoline at 15.5°C and is not directly applicable to other fluids or different temperatures.

What is the main difference between gallon (US)/day and kilogram/minute units?

Gallon (US)/day measures volumetric flow over a day, while kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) measures mass flow rate based on standard gasoline density.

What Is This Tool?

This converter translates flow measurements from gallon (US)/day, a volumetric flow unit used mainly in water and chemical applications, into kilogram per minute specific to gasoline at 15.5°C, a mass flow unit referencing gasoline's standard density.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow value in gallon (US)/day.
Select gallon (US)/day as the input unit and kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) as the output unit.
Click the convert button to get the equivalent mass flow rate in kilogram/minute.

Key Features

Converts volumetric flow rate in US gallons per day to mass flow in kilograms per minute for gasoline at 15.5°C.
Uses standardized gasoline density at 15.5°C to ensure consistent results.
Supports conversions relevant to fuel industry operations like custody transfer and vehicle fuel testing.
Offers example calculations for quick reference.

Examples

Converting 100 gal (US)/day yields approximately 0.19435 kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
Converting 500 gal (US)/day gives about 0.97176 kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C).

Common Use Cases

Reporting household daily water consumption in the US using volumetric flow units.
Measuring gasoline flow accurately for custody transfer and invoicing at terminals or pipelines.
Calibrating fuel flowmeters and performing vehicle fuel consumption testing with standardized temperature corrections.

Tips & Best Practices

Always use gasoline density referenced at 15.5°C for consistent mass flow conversions.
Consider the nature of the flow; gallon (US)/day is for steady low-rate flows rather than transient measurements.
Verify the unit settings before conversion to ensure accuracy.

Limitations

Accuracy depends on gasoline composition and temperature remaining consistent at 15.5°C.
Not suited for fluids other than gasoline or temperatures different from 15.5°C without adjustments.
May not accurately capture rapid flow changes due to daily volumetric measurement.
