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

15.5 °C is a standard reference temperature for liquid fuels to account for density changes caused by temperature variations.

Can this conversion be applied to fluids other than gasoline?

No, this conversion specifically applies to gasoline and should not be used for other fluids without appropriate density corrections.

What industries commonly use this conversion?

Automotive, aerospace, fuel distribution, and refinery operations commonly use it for fuel management, custody transfer, and flow meter calibration.

What Is This Tool?

This tool converts flow rates measured in US gallons per day into mass flow rates in kilograms per second for gasoline at a reference temperature of 15.5 °C, helping users translate volumetric quantities into mass metrics accurately.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow rate value in gallons (US) per day
Select the target unit as kilogram per second for gasoline at 15.5 °C
Click convert to obtain the mass flow rate equivalent
Use the result for fuel management or process calculations

Key Features

Converts volumetric flow rates (gal US/day) to mass flow rates (kg/s) specific to gasoline at 15.5°C
Reference temperature accounts for density variations of gasoline
Ideal for fuel measurement, calibration, and process control
Supports applications in automotive, aerospace, and fuel distribution industries

Examples

10 gal (US)/day converts to 0.00032392 kg/s (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
100 gal (US)/day converts to 0.0032392 kg/s (Gasoline at 15.5°C)

Common Use Cases

Reporting household or per-capita daily water consumption in the US
Specifying chemical dosing and leak rates in water treatment
Measuring fuel mass flow for engine combustion control
Custody transfer and billing at fuel terminals using reference mass
Flow meter calibration and testing in refineries and pipelines

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure gasoline density is referenced to 15.5 °C for accuracy
Use mass flow rates for precise fuel delivery and combustion calculations
Apply the conversion only for gasoline and not other fluids
Verify temperature conditions match the standard reference for best results

Limitations

Conversion assumes gasoline density at 15.5 °C; deviations may affect results
Not valid for fluids other than gasoline without adjusting for density variations
