Why use kilogram/second at 15.5°C instead of just gallon per minute?

Using kilogram/second at 15.5°C standardizes fuel mass flow by accounting for temperature-dependent density variations, which is important for precise engine and process control.

Is this conversion valid for all types of gasoline?

The conversion assumes standard gasoline density at 15.5°C; variations in fuel composition might require further corrections.

Can this converter be used for fuels other than gasoline?

No, this conversion specifically applies to gasoline at 15.5°C and may not be accurate for other fuels or conditions without adjustments.
