What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to translate flow rate units from hundred-cubic foot per day, a volumetric measure used for small continuous gas or liquid flows, into kilogram per second for gasoline at 15.5°C, a mass flow unit commonly used in fuel-related applications.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in hundred-cubic foot/day for the flow rate you want to convert
-
Select the units: from hundred-cubic foot/day to kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
Submit the input to receive the equivalent mass flow measurement
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow rates (hundred-cubic foot/day) to mass flow rates (kilogram/second) for gasoline at 15.5°C
-
Supports engineering contexts like fuel refining, engine testing, and pipeline metering
-
Browser-based and easy to use with straightforward input and output
Examples
-
10 hundred-cubic foot/day equals 0.242308651 kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
50 hundred-cubic foot/day equals 1.211543255 kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
Common Use Cases
-
Reporting small natural gas production or distribution pipeline rates
-
Measuring fuel mass flow to engines for combustion performance
-
Custody transfer and billing at fuel terminals using mass measurements
-
Calibration and testing of flow meters in refineries and pipelines
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure gasoline temperature is close to 15.5°C for accurate conversion
-
Use for relatively small flow rates to match the typical applications
-
Confirm unit selections before conversion to avoid errors
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes gasoline density at exactly 15.5 °C; temperature variations may affect results
-
Not ideal for very large scale industrial flow rates without further adjustment
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does hundred-cubic foot/day measure?
-
It measures volumetric flow, representing 100 cubic feet of fluid passing a point in one day, commonly used for small gas or liquid flows.
-
Why is kilogram/second used for gasoline at 15.5°C?
-
This unit expresses mass flow rate of gasoline referenced at 15.5°C, a standard temperature to account for density variations in liquid fuel measurements.
-
Can I use this converter for large industrial flows?
-
The converter is mainly designed for relatively small flow rates and may require adjustments for very large scale industrial applications.
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-scale gas or liquid flows.
-
Kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate unit expressing how many kilograms of gasoline pass a point each second, with density referenced to 15.5°C.
