What Is This Tool?
This unit converter transforms flow rate measurements from hundred-cubic foot per minute, a volumetric air or gas flow unit, into kilogram per day for gasoline at a reference temperature of 15.5°C. It helps standardize petroleum-related flow rates by converting volume-based data into temperature-corrected mass flow rates.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate value in hundred-cubic foot per minute
-
Select the target unit kilogram per day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
Click convert to get the mass flow result adjusted to the standard reference temperature
-
Use the results for inventory tracking, custody transfer, or process management
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow in hundred-cubic foot per minute to mass flow in kilogram per day for gasoline at 15.5°C
-
Utilizes a standard reference temperature to ensure consistent mass–volume conversions
-
Ideal for petroleum industry applications such as custody transfer and fuel inventory management
-
Browser-based and easy to operate without need for manual calculations
-
Provides example conversions illustrating typical values
Examples
-
Convert 2 hundred-cubic foot per minute to kilogram per day: 2 × 3,014,707.3164 = 6,029,414.63 kilogram/day
-
Convert 0.5 hundred-cubic foot per minute to kilogram per day: 0.5 × 3,014,707.3164 = 1,507,353.66 kilogram/day
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying HVAC or industrial blower airflow rates in volumetric units and converting them to mass flow for gasoline
-
Custody transfer and invoicing for gasoline deliveries where mass basis reporting at 15.5°C is required
-
Fuel depot inventory reconciliation and refinery throughput calculations standardized by temperature correction
-
Environmental emission reporting and fuel consumption analysis with temperature-adjusted mass flow
Tips & Best Practices
-
Confirm that gasoline density corresponds to 15.5°C reference to ensure accurate conversions
-
Use this conversion specifically for gasoline, not for other fluids or gases
-
Regularly calibrate measuring instruments to maintain precision in volumetric flow readings
-
Validate input values carefully to avoid errors in downstream measurements or reporting
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes gasoline density fixed at 15.5°C; deviations in temperature or fuel composition affect accuracy
-
Not suitable for other fluids or gases beyond gasoline at the specified temperature
-
Accuracy depends on temperature control and calibration of measurement devices
-
Volumetric to mass conversions require consistent standardization to reduce errors
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is 15.5°C used as the reference temperature for gasoline conversions?
-
It standardizes gasoline density to enable consistent mass-to-volume conversions for custody transfer and inventory control.
-
Can I use this conversion for liquids other than gasoline?
-
This conversion is specific to gasoline at 15.5°C and may not be accurate for other fluids.
-
What does hundred-cubic foot per minute measure?
-
It measures volumetric flow rate representing 100 cubic feet of fluid passing a point each minute, often used for airflow.
Key Terminology
-
Hundred-Cubic Foot/Minute
-
A unit of volumetric flow equal to 100 cubic feet of fluid passing a point each minute, commonly used to measure air or gas flow.
-
Kilogram/Day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate specifying the mass of gasoline passing per day with density standardized to 15.5°C for consistent mass–volume conversion.
-
Custody Transfer
-
The process of transferring product ownership with accurate measurement, often requiring standardized mass flow measurements.
