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

The reference temperature standardizes gasoline density to ensure consistent mass-to-volume conversions, which is essential for correct custody transfer and inventory reporting.

Can this conversion be used for fuels other than gasoline?

No, the conversion is specific to gasoline at 15.5°C and may not produce accurate results for other fuels without proper density and temperature adjustments.

What happens if the volumetric flow rate measurement is not steady?

Unstable or inaccurate volumetric flow rates can result in incorrect mass flow calculations, impacting the reliability of custody transfer and process data.
