What Is This Tool?
This tool converts flow rates from gallon (US)/minute, a volumetric measurement, to kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C), a mass flow rate standardized for gasoline density at a reference temperature. It supports accurate fuel management and transactions.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate value in gallon (US)/minute
-
Select the unit to convert from and to (gallon (US)/minute to kilogram/day Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
Click convert to view the equivalent mass flow rate
-
Use the result for fuel management, custody transfer, or process calculations
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow (gallon US/min) to mass flow rate (kg/day) for gasoline at 15.5°C
-
Accounts for standard temperature corrections used in petroleum industry
-
Useful for custody transfer, invoicing, and inventory reconciliation
-
Web-based, easy-to-use interface for quick conversions
-
Supports precise fuel flow measurement in distribution and refining contexts
Examples
-
2 gallon (US)/minute equals 8060.1549777872 kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
0.5 gallon (US)/minute equals 2015.0387444468 kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying pump and sprinkler system flow in plumbing and engineering
-
Measuring fuel transfer rates in automotive and small-engine applications
-
Custody transfer and invoicing of gasoline deliveries
-
Inventory and throughput reporting at fuel depots and refineries
-
Calculating fuel consumption and emissions in refining processes
Tips & Best Practices
-
Confirm gasoline temperature is close to 15.5°C for accurate mass conversion
-
Use this conversion primarily for gasoline flow rates due to density reference
-
Apply conversion results to custody transfer and inventory tracking for consistency
-
Be aware of temperature variations that can impact measurement accuracy
Limitations
-
Assumes gasoline density at 15.5°C; deviations may affect results
-
Only applicable for gasoline; not suitable for other fluids without adjustment
-
Does not consider temperature variations beyond the standard reference
-
Accuracy depends on correct input of volumetric flow rates
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the temperature 15.5°C used in this conversion?
-
The 15.5°C reference temperature standardizes gasoline density for accurate mass-volume conversion in custody transfer and inventory processes.
-
Can this conversion be used for fluids other than gasoline?
-
No, this conversion is specific to gasoline because it relies on a density reference at 15.5°C and may not apply to other fluids.
-
How is gallon (US)/minute defined?
-
It represents the number of U.S. liquid gallons passing a point each minute, used commonly in North America for measuring volumetric flow rates.
Key Terminology
-
Gallon (US)/minute
-
A volumetric flow rate representing the number of U.S. liquid gallons flowing per minute.
-
Kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate of gasoline corrected to a standard temperature of 15.5°C for consistent and accurate measurement.
-
Custody transfer
-
The process of transferring fuel ownership where accurate flow measurement is critical.
