What does kilobarrel (US)/day measure?

It measures volumetric flow equal to 1,000 US oil barrels per day, commonly used in oil and gas production and logistics.

Why is the mass flow rate referenced to gasoline at 15.5°C?

Because gasoline density varies with temperature, referencing 15.5°C ensures standardized density-based conversion for accurate mass calculations.

Can this conversion be used for other petroleum products?

No, this specific conversion applies only to gasoline and assumes its density at 15.5°C; other products require different conversions.
