What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms volumetric flow rates expressed in hundred-cubic foot/hour into mass flow rates measured in pound/second for gasoline conditioned at 15.5 °C. It helps translate gas flow volume to gasoline mass flow critical in fuel measurement and engineering contexts.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volumetric flow value in hundred-cubic foot/hour.
-
Select the target unit pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
-
Initiate the conversion to obtain the corresponding mass flow rate.
-
Use the converted value for fuel measurement, billing, or engineering analysis.
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow from hundred-cubic foot/hour to mass flow in pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
-
Accounts for gasoline density based on temperature reference at 15.5 °C.
-
Suitable for petroleum refining, fuel delivery, automotive, and custody transfer applications.
Examples
-
2 hundred-cubic foot/hour converts to 2.5641558444 pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
-
0.5 hundred-cubic foot/hour converts to 0.6410389611 pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
Common Use Cases
-
Monitoring natural gas flow rates for residential or small commercial customers.
-
Fuel consumption measurement in engine testing reporting mass delivery.
-
Custody transfer and inventory accounting in petroleum pipeline operations.
-
Sizing fuel pumps and delivery systems in automotive and petroleum engineering.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure gasoline is conditioned to the reference temperature of 15.5 °C for accurate results.
-
Use the converter for translating volumetric flow to mass flow to adjust for temperature effects on density.
-
Apply converted values in contexts requiring mass flow measurement like billing or process control.
Limitations
-
Conversion accuracy depends on gasoline being precisely at 15.5 °C due to density variations.
-
Standard conditions are assumed; deviations in temperature or fuel composition may cause errors.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why do I need to convert hundred-cubic foot/hour to pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C)?
-
Converting to mass flow accounts for gasoline density at a reference temperature, ensuring accurate fuel measurement, billing, and process control.
Key Terminology
-
Hundred-cubic foot/hour
-
A volumetric flow rate representing 100 cubic feet passing a point per hour, used for measuring gas or air flow.
-
Pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate indicating pounds of gasoline delivered or passing a point per second, referenced to 15.5 °C for density.
-
Mass Flow Rate
-
The amount of mass passing through a point per unit of time, important for precise fuel delivery measurements.
