Why is gasoline flow converted from volume to mass?

Converting gasoline flow from volume to mass at a standard temperature allows for consistent inventory management, custody transfer accuracy, and emissions reporting that accounts for temperature-dependent density.

Can this conversion be used for fuels other than gasoline?

No, this conversion is specific to gasoline at 15.5°C and should not be directly applied to other fuels without necessary adjustments.

What is the significance of the 15.5°C reference temperature?

15.5°C is a standardized temperature used in the petroleum industry to account for gasoline density variations due to temperature changes, ensuring uniform measurement and accounting.
