What Is This Tool?
This tool converts flow rates expressed in hundred-cubic foot per day, a volumetric unit often used for small gas or liquid flows, into kilogram per hour for gasoline at 15.5°C. It allows accurate translation from volume to mass flow, standardized by gasoline density at the reference temperature.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate value in hundred-cubic foot per day into the input field.
-
Select or confirm the target unit as kilogram per hour for gasoline at 15.5°C.
-
Submit or trigger the conversion to obtain the equivalent mass flow rate.
-
Use the results for fuel accounting, engineering analysis, or metering calibration.
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow rates (hundred-cubic foot/day) to mass flow rates (kilogram/hour for gasoline at 15.5°C).
-
Based on gasoline density standardized at 15.5°C to ensure consistent mass calculations.
-
Suitable for engineering, fuel metering, custody transfer, and consumption reporting.
-
Browser-based and straightforward interface for quick conversions.
-
Includes practical examples to illustrate unit conversions.
Examples
-
2 hundred-cubic foot/day equals approximately 174.462 kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
-
0.5 hundred-cubic foot/day converts to about 43.616 kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
Common Use Cases
-
Reporting production or distribution rates for small natural gas wells or pipelines.
-
Converting residential or commercial gas consumption figures in utility management.
-
Calculating modest groundwater pump or wastewater influent flow rates in engineering.
-
Custody transfer and billing of gasoline at terminals using standardized mass flow.
-
Assessing fuel consumption and engine flow rates standardized to 15.5°C for performance testing.
-
Calibration and verification of flow meters utilizing density-corrected mass flow data.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always confirm the reference temperature of gasoline density when interpreting results.
-
Use this conversion specifically for gasoline; avoid applying it to other fluids without adjustments.
-
Apply this tool primarily for small to moderate flow rates consistent with the volumetric unit scale.
-
Combine with calibration procedures for flow meters to ensure measurement accuracy.
-
Consider temperature variations and gasoline composition changes in detailed analyses.
Limitations
-
The conversion assumes gasoline density is referenced at 15.5°C; deviations reduce accuracy.
-
It is only applicable to gasoline and not valid for other fluids without correction.
-
Intended for relatively small flow rates; large scale flows may require different units or methods.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is gasoline density referenced at 15.5°C for this conversion?
-
Referencing gasoline density at 15.5°C standardizes mass flow calculations because gasoline density varies with temperature, ensuring consistent measurement and comparison.
-
Can this conversion be used for fluids other than gasoline?
-
No, this conversion is specific to gasoline at 15.5°C and should not be applied to other fluids without adjusting for their specific density and temperature conditions.
-
What is a hundred-cubic foot per day unit used for?
-
It is used to express relatively small continuous volumetric flow rates of gases or liquids, common in engineering and utility contexts such as natural gas production and small water flows.
Key Terminology
-
Hundred-cubic foot/day
-
A volumetric flow rate unit equal to 100 cubic feet of fluid passing a point in one day, used for small gas or liquid flows.
-
Kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate unit measuring the mass of gasoline per hour, standardized at 15.5°C to reflect consistent density.
-
Custody Transfer
-
The process of transferring ownership or responsibility of fuel quantities, requiring accurate mass flow measurements.
