What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms flow rates expressed in US gallons per hour into mass flow rates in kilograms per hour, specifically for gasoline measured at a temperature of 15.5°C. It allows users to translate volumetric fuel flow into accurately referenced mass flow for various applications such as fuel reporting and metering.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow value in gallons (US) per hour.
Select the input unit as gallon (US)/hour.
Choose kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C) as the target unit.
Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent mass flow rate.

Key Features

Converts volumetric flow rates in gal (US)/h to mass flow rates in kg/h for gasoline at 15.5°C.
Uses gasoline density at 15.5°C for consistent temperature-referenced conversion.
Supports measurement needs in fuel consumption, billing, and equipment calibration.

Examples

5 gal (US)/h converts to approximately 13.99 kg/h (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
0.1 gal (US)/h converts to about 0.28 kg/h (Gasoline at 15.5°C).

Common Use Cases

Fuel consumption measurements for small aircraft, marine engines, and portable generators where fuel flow is reported in US gallons per hour.
Custody transfer and invoicing of gasoline at terminals using mass flow standardized at 15.5°C.
Calibration and verification of flow meters and fuel dispensers requiring density-corrected mass flow values.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure gasoline temperature is close to 15.5°C for accurate density-based conversion.
Verify that the volumetric flow measurement uses US gallons to maintain unit consistency.
Use this conversion when mass-based fuel reporting is needed to compare performance or for billing purposes.

Limitations

Accuracy depends on gasoline temperature being at or near 15.5°C; temperature variations affect density.
Applicable primarily in regions using US gallon units; integration with SI-based systems requires unit awareness.
Measurement uncertainties in volume or density can influence resulting mass flow calculations.
