What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms flow measurements from hundred-cubic foot/hour, a volumetric flow rate commonly used in gas and air flow applications, into kilogram/hour units that account for the mass flow rate of gasoline at a standard temperature of 15.5°C. It facilitates precise volume-to-mass conversions critical in fuel handling and metering.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate value in hundred-cubic foot/hour.
-
Select the target unit kilogram/hour for gasoline at 15.5°C.
-
Execute the conversion to obtain the mass flow rate based on standard gasoline density.
Key Features
-

Examples
-
2 hundred-cubic foot/hour converts to approximately 4187.09 kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
-
0.5 hundred-cubic foot/hour converts to approximately 1046.77 kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
Common Use Cases
-
Monitoring natural gas consumption and low-rate gas flows in residential or small commercial settings.
-
Converting volumetric gasoline flow to mass for custody transfer and billing at fuel terminals.
-
Calibrating and verifying flow meters and dispensers with density-corrected mass flow values.
-
Reporting and analyzing fuel consumption rates standardized to a reference temperature for engine testing.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure flowmeters are properly calibrated for reliable measurement results.
-
Maintain stable temperature conditions around 15.5°C for consistent density referencing.
-
Use this conversion only for gasoline due to its specific density at 15.5°C.
-
Double-check entered values for accurate conversion output.
Limitations
-
Conversion is accurate only for gasoline at exactly 15.5°C; other temperatures affect density and results.
-
This unit conversion cannot be applied directly to other fuels or gases without density adjustments.
-
Measurement accuracy depends on stable temperature control and properly calibrated flowmeters.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the temperature 15.5°C used in this conversion?
-
The temperature of 15.5°C is a standard reference for gasoline density, ensuring consistent and accurate mass flow calculations.
-
Can this conversion be used for fuels other than gasoline?
-
No, this conversion is specific to gasoline at 15.5°C and should not be used for other fuels without proper density adjustments.
-
What does hundred-cubic foot/hour measure?
-
It measures volumetric flow rate, indicating 100 cubic feet of gas or air passing a point per hour.
Key Terminology
-
Hundred-cubic foot/hour
-
A volumetric flow rate signifying 100 cubic feet of gas or air flowing past a point each hour, often used in measuring small gas supplies.
-
Kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate unit representing the amount of gasoline passing per hour, referenced to its density at 15.5°C for consistent metering.
-
Conversion Rate
-
The factor used to translate volumetric flow in hundred-cubic foot/hour to mass flow in kilogram/hour for gasoline, based on density at 15.5°C.
