Why is gasoline measured at 15.5°C for this conversion?

Measuring gasoline at 15.5°C ensures a standardized reference temperature that accounts for thermal expansion, allowing consistent and comparable mass–volume conversions.

Can I use this tool for fuels other than gasoline?

This converter is specifically designed for gasoline at 15.5°C, so using it for other fuels without adjustments may lead to inaccurate results.

What should I do if the gasoline temperature differs from 15.5°C?

Additional corrections are required if the fuel temperature deviates from 15.5°C, as this impacts density and thus mass flow calculations.

Browser-based and easy to use without requiring additional software
Provides instant results using a defined conversion factor

Examples

Converting 5 gal (US)/h results in 0.233222077 kg/min (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
Converting 10 gal (US)/h yields 0.466444154 kg/min (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
Use the formula 1 gal (US)/h = 0.0466444154 kg/min to calculate other values

Common Use Cases

Monitoring fuel burn rates in small aircraft, marine engines, and portable generators
Specifying flow rates for chemical dosing and condensate removal pumps
Standardizing fuel custody transfer billing in terminals and pipelines
Calibrating fuel flowmeters and verifying tanker truck loading/unloading
Fuel consumption testing for engines and vehicles with temperature-corrected mass rates

Tips & Best Practices

Always ensure the gasoline density corresponds to the reference temperature of 15.5°C for accuracy
Use standardized mass flow rates to improve comparability between tests or billing reports
Check fuel composition as variations may affect conversions and require adjustments
Apply this tool for low-flow measurements where volume units are less consistent due to thermal effects
Consult specific calibration protocols when performing engine or vehicle fuel-consumption tests

Limitations

Conversion assumes gasoline density at the standard reference temperature of 15.5°C
Actual temperature and composition variations in gasoline may necessitate further correction factors
The standardized reference may not fully capture all operating environment conditions affecting fuel density
