What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms flow measurements from hundred-cubic foot per hour, a volumetric gas flow unit, into kilogram per day specific to gasoline at 15.5°C. It helps convert volume-based gas flows into temperature-corrected mass flow rates critical in fuel management.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value in hundred-cubic foot/hour.
-
Select the target unit as kilogram/day for gasoline at 15.5°C.
-
Click convert to get the corresponding mass flow rate.
Key Features
-
Supports conversion from volumetric gas flow units to mass flow rate of gasoline at a standard reference temperature.
-
Uses a fixed conversion rate specific to gasoline density at 15.5°C for consistent results.
-
Suitable for use in custody transfer, inventory control, and fuel process calculations.
-
Browser-based and easy to use without specialized software.
Examples
-
2 hundred-cubic foot/hour equals 100490.243879322 kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
-
0.5 hundred-cubic foot/hour converts to 25122.560969831 kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
Common Use Cases
-
Utility measurement and reporting of gas consumption for residential and small commercial settings.
-
Custody transfer and billing of gasoline deliveries standardized to temperature for accurate invoicing.
-
Inventory reconciliation and throughput tracking at refineries and fuel depots.
-
Calculating fuel consumption and emissions in refining and distribution systems requiring mass flow data.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always verify the temperature reference when converting gasoline flow rates.
-
Use the tool for standardized reporting to ensure consistency in custody transfer and inventory management.
-
Check that input values represent flow under the assumed physical conditions to maintain conversion accuracy.
Limitations
-
Conversion accuracy depends on gasoline density at the reference temperature of 15.5°C; variations may affect results.
-
The tool assumes stable physical conditions; temperature, pressure, or phase changes in gas or liquid can cause discrepancies.
-
It simplifies from volumetric gas flow to liquid mass flow, so additional corrections might be needed in complex scenarios.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the reference temperature 15.5°C used in this conversion?
-
The temperature 15.5°C is standard in petroleum measurement to correct volumetric measurements and ensure consistent mass–volume conversions for gasoline.
-
Can this converter be used for substances other than gasoline?
-
No, this tool specifically converts flow rates to kilogram/day assuming gasoline density at 15.5°C and is not applicable for other substances.
-
What should I consider regarding temperature when using this converter?
-
The converter assumes gasoline density at 15.5°C; deviations in gasoline temperature may require additional correction to maintain conversion accuracy.
Key Terminology
