What Is This Tool?
This unit converter transforms flow rates from hundred-cubic foot per minute, a volumetric flow measure, into pound per hour specific to gasoline at 15.5°C. It helps translate bulk volumetric airflow into a temperature-corrected mass flow important for fuel metering and performance.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in hundred-cubic foot per minute representing volumetric flow.
-
Select the target unit pound/hour for gasoline at 15.5°C.
-
Click convert to get the corresponding temperature-referenced mass flow rate.
-
Use the result for engineering, fuel custody, or HVAC system calculations.
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow rate (hundred-cubic foot/minute) to mass flow rate (pound/hour) for gasoline at 15.5°C.
-
Supports applications involving HVAC ventilation systems, fuel supply, and industrial burner operation.
-
References gasoline mass flow to a standard temperature to account for density variations.
-
Provides quick calculations for custody-transfer and metering of gasoline pipelines or tanker trucks.
Examples
-
2 hundred-cubic foot/minute equals approximately 553,857.66 pound/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
-
0.5 hundred-cubic foot/minute converts to about 138,464.42 pound/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
Common Use Cases
-
Determining fan and HVAC supply capacities for large buildings.
-
Sizing industrial blowers and ventilation ductwork based on airflow.
-
Custody-transfer and metering of gasoline where temperature-corrected mass flow is required.
-
Specifying fuel supply rates for engines and generators in mass terms.
-
Calibrating flow meters and verifying fuel delivery systems with standard temperature references.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always ensure gasoline temperature is referenced at 15.5°C for valid mass flow conversion.
-
Use this conversion only for gasoline and avoid applying it to other fluids or gases.
-
Calibrate instruments locally when high accuracy is needed beyond nominal conversion values.
Limitations
-
Assumes gasoline density is fixed at 15.5°C, so variations in temperature or composition affect results.
-
Conversion is specific to gasoline at 15.5°C and cannot accurately apply to other substances.
-
High precision scenarios may require additional calibration and correction factors.
Frequently Asked Questions
