Why is the temperature 15.5°C important in this conversion?

The temperature 15.5°C is used as a standard reference for gasoline density to ensure mass flow measurements are temperature-corrected for accuracy in custody and engineering calculations.

Can this conversion be used for fuels other than gasoline?

This specific conversion applies only to gasoline at 15.5°C. Other fuels require appropriate density and temperature corrections before conversion.

What is the conversion factor from gallon (US)/hour to pound/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C)?

The conversion factor is approximately 6.17; 1 gal (US)/h equals 6.169999998 lb/h for gasoline at 15.5°C.

What Is This Tool?

This unit converter transforms flow measurements from US gallons per hour, a volumetric rate, to pounds per hour of gasoline at 15.5°C, a mass flow rate corrected for temperature. It helps in applications where fuel volume needs to be expressed as mass with temperature adjustment.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow value in gallon (US)/hour units
Select gallon (US)/hour as the input unit and pound/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C) as the output
Click the convert button to get the equivalent mass flow in lb/h
Review the result which reflects fuel mass flow corrected to standard temperature

Key Features

Converts volumetric flow (gal (US)/h) to mass flow (lb/h) for gasoline at 15.5°C
Applies a standardized conversion factor ensuring consistent temperature correction
Supports fuel flow rate conversions critical for engineering and custody transfer
Useful for aviation, marine, generator fuel monitoring, and industrial fuel management

Examples

2 gal (US)/h converts to approximately 12.34 lb/h (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
0.5 gal (US)/h converts to approximately 3.085 lb/h (Gasoline at 15.5°C)

Common Use Cases

Converting aircraft and marine engine fuel burn rates reported in gal/h to mass flow rates
Specifying and verifying flow rates for small industrial pumps and dosing systems
Fuel custody transfer and metering in pipelines and terminals with temperature-corrected mass flow
Calibration and performance checks of fuel delivery systems requiring temperature-referenced measurements

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the gasoline density reference temperature is maintained at 15.5°C for accuracy
Use consistent units and temperature references when comparing or using flow data
Apply this conversion only for gasoline or fuels with similar density properties
Verify conversions by cross-checking with measurement device specifications or calibration data

Limitations

Conversion assumes gasoline density at 15.5°C; temperature deviations may impact accuracy
Specific to gasoline and not directly applicable to other fuels without density and temperature adjustments
Measurement inaccuracies and changes in fuel composition can affect conversion precision
