Why is gasoline density referenced at 15.5°C in this conversion?

Referencing gasoline density at 15.5°C standardizes mass–volume conversions by compensating for thermal expansion, enabling consistent and comparable measurements.

Can this converter be used for fuels other than gasoline?

No, this conversion specifically applies to gasoline with density referenced at 15.5°C and may not be accurate for other fuels without density adjustments.

What industries benefit from this unit conversion?

The oil and gas sector uses this conversion for production reporting, custody transfer, flowmeter calibration, tanker load management, and fuel-consumption testing.
