Why is gasoline temperature referenced at 15.5°C in this conversion?

Using 15.5°C as a reference standardizes fuel density measurements, enabling accurate and comparable mass flow calculations by accounting for temperature-related volume changes.

Can I use this conversion for fuels other than gasoline?

This conversion specifically accounts for gasoline properties at 15.5°C, so it may not provide accurate results for other fuels with different densities or temperature references.

What does it mean to convert from volumetric to mass flow?

It means converting a flow rate based on volume (gallons per hour) into mass-based flow (pounds per minute), considering fuel density to reflect the actual mass passing a point.
