What Is This Tool?
This converter translates flow rates from hundred-cubic foot per hour, a volumetric measure often used for gas flow, into kilogram per minute, a mass flow measure standardized for gasoline at 15.5°C. It helps align volumetric gas metrics with mass-based fuel measurements referenced to temperature-corrected density.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value in hundred-cubic foot per hour.
-
Select the target unit: kilogram per minute for gasoline at 15.5°C.
-
Click convert to see the mass flow rate corresponding to the input volume flow.
-
Use the results for reporting, measurement, or process control tasks.
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow (100 cubic feet per hour) to mass flow (kg/min) for gasoline at 15.5°C
-
Accounts for gasoline density at a standardized reference temperature to ensure measurement consistency
-
Useful for fuel transfer, custody billing, and calibration of flowmeters
-
Simple input and output suitable for industrial and commercial use cases
Examples
-
2 hundred-cubic foot/hour equals approximately 69.78 kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
-
0.5 hundred-cubic foot/hour converts to about 17.45 kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
Common Use Cases
-
Monitoring small gas or air flow rates in residential or commercial settings using imperial units.
-
Custody transfer and billing for gasoline using mass measurements standardized to 15.5°C.
-
Calibration and verification of fuel flowmeters on fuel terminals and tanker loading operations.
-
Engine and vehicle fuel consumption testing with temperature-corrected mass flow data.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure flow measurements are accurate and correspond to the hundred-cubic foot per hour unit.
-
Apply corrections if gasoline temperature differs from the reference 15.5°C to maintain accuracy.
-
Use this conversion to standardize mass flow results across different temperature conditions.
-
Avoid using the conversion for fuels other than gasoline at 15.5°C without appropriate adjustments.
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes gasoline density at exactly 15.5°C; deviations require correction.
-
Not applicable for fuels other than gasoline unless adjusted for density differences.
-
Precision depends on correct volumetric flow measurements and proper use of reference conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is gasoline density referenced at 15.5°C for this conversion?
-
Referencing gasoline density at 15.5°C standardizes mass-volume conversions and ensures consistent measurements across different temperatures.
-
Can this conversion be used for fuels other than gasoline?
-
No, the conversion is specific to gasoline at 15.5°C and may not be accurate for other fuels without necessary density corrections.
-
What happens if the gasoline temperature is different from 15.5°C?
-
If the temperature varies, corrections should be applied to account for changes in gasoline density to maintain accuracy.
Key Terminology
-
Hundred-cubic foot/hour
-
A volumetric flow rate equal to 100 cubic feet passing a point each hour, commonly used for measuring gas or air flow.
-
Kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate expressing gasoline mass per minute, standardized to its density at 15.5°C to account for temperature effects.
-
Reference temperature
-
A standardized temperature used to define density for consistent mass-volume conversions, in this case 15.5°C for gasoline.
