Why is 15.5°C used as the reference temperature in this conversion?

15.5°C is a standard temperature to which gasoline volume measurements are corrected to ensure consistent and fair mass flow calculations, especially important in custody transfer and inventory tracking.

Can this conversion be applied to other petroleum products besides gasoline?

No, this conversion is specific to gasoline at 15.5°C and should not be used for other petroleum products without appropriate correction factors.

What does 1 kilobarrel (US)/day represent in volume terms?

1 kilobarrel (US)/day equals 1,000 US oil barrels per day, with each barrel containing about 42 US gallons or approximately 158.987 liters.
