What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms flow rates expressed in hundred-cubic foot per day, a volumetric measurement, into kilogram per minute units specifically adjusted for gasoline at 15.5°C by accounting for gasoline density at that reference temperature.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in hundred-cubic foot per day representing the flow rate
-
Select the target unit as kilogram per minute for Gasoline at 15.5°C
-
Initiate the conversion to receive the equivalent mass flow rate
-
Use the result for analysis, billing, or monitoring related to gasoline fuel flow
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow rates from hundred-cubic foot/day to mass flow rates in kilogram/minute for gasoline at 15.5°C
-
Uses a standardized reference temperature to ensure consistency in mass-volume conversion
-
Supports applications in custody transfer, fuel flowmeter calibration, and consumption testing
-
Browser-based and easy to use with no installation required
-
Suitable for calculating relatively small continuous flow rates
Examples
-
2 hundred-cubic foot/day converts to 2.907703816 kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
0.5 hundred-cubic foot/day converts to 0.726925954 kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
Common Use Cases
-
Monitoring production rates at small natural-gas wells or distribution pipelines
-
Reporting residential or commercial gas consumption at a utility scale
-
Calculating groundwater pump or wastewater influent flow in engineering
-
Custody transfer and invoicing for gasoline in terminals or pipelines
-
Calibrating fuel flowmeters and managing tanker truck loading/unloading
-
Performing engine and vehicle fuel consumption testing with standardized reference
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure the gasoline temperature is close to the 15.5°C reference for accurate correlation
-
Use this conversion for relatively small to moderate flow rates to maintain relevance
-
Apply standardized density references when comparing or billing fuel volumes
-
Verify calibration standards if using the tool for measurement or custody transfer
-
Be aware of fuel composition changes that may affect density calculations
Limitations
-
Assumes gasoline density at exactly 15.5°C; temperature or composition changes can affect accuracy
-
Best suited for relatively small flow rates; large or very small measurements may require other units
-
Specific to gasoline at 15.5°C and not applicable to other fluids or temperature references without adjustment
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the temperature 15.5°C important in this conversion?
-
15.5°C is the standardized reference temperature used to define gasoline density ensuring consistent mass-volume conversions and comparability across different conditions.
-
Can this conversion be used for fluids other than gasoline?
-
No, this conversion is specific to gasoline at 15.5°C and may not yield accurate results for other fluids or temperatures.
-
Is this tool suitable for very large flow rates?
-
This conversion is designed for relatively small flow rates; very large values might require alternative units or conversion methods.
