-
0.5 hundred-cubic foot/day equals about 96.16 pound/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
Common Use Cases
-
Reporting small natural gas well or pipeline production rates
-
Measuring utility-scale residential or commercial gas consumption
-
Calculating groundwater pump or wastewater influent flows
-
Custody transfer and metering of gasoline in pipelines and tankers
-
Estimating fuel consumption for engines and industrial burners
-
Calibrating flow meters requiring temperature-referenced mass flow data
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure volumetric flow data is corrected to the standard temperature of 15.5°C before conversion
-
Use this conversion only for gasoline to maintain accuracy
-
Refer to density and temperature conditions when applying results in engineering calculations
-
Validate flow meter calibrations with temperature-referenced measurements
Limitations
-
Conversion applies exclusively to gasoline properties at exactly 15.5°C
-
Variations in gasoline composition or temperature require adjusted calculations
-
Volumetric measurements must be temperature-corrected for precise mass flow estimation
-
Not suitable for fluids other than gasoline without proper corrections
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does hundred-cubic foot/day measure?
-
It is a volumetric flow rate indicating 100 cubic feet of fluid passing a point in one day, commonly used for small gas or liquid flows.
-
Why is the gasoline temperature referenced at 15.5°C?
-
This standard temperature ensures consistent density and temperature correction for mass flow measurements in custody and engineering uses.
-
Can I use this conversion for fluids other than gasoline?
-
No, this conversion is specific to gasoline at 15.5°C and should not be used for other fluids without appropriate density and temperature adjustments.
Key Terminology
-
Hundred-cubic foot/day
-
A volumetric flow rate equal to 100 cubic feet of fluid passing a point in one day, used to describe small continuous flows.
-
Pound/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate unit representing one pound of gasoline passing a point each hour, corrected to a standard temperature of 15.5 degrees Celsius.
-
Custody transfer
-
The process of transferring product ownership while accounting for accurate mass flow measurement, typically in pipelines or storage facilities.
