Why is gasoline temperature important in this conversion?

Gasoline’s density varies with temperature, so using a reference temperature of 15.5°C ensures consistent and accurate mass flow calculations.

Can this tool be used for liquids other than gasoline?

No, this conversion specifically accounts for gasoline density at 15.5°C and should not be used for other fluids.

What industries commonly use this conversion?

This conversion is widely applied in petroleum, automotive, fuel distribution, engine testing, and pipeline custody transfer.
