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

15.5°C is a standard reference temperature used for petroleum products to ensure volume and density corrections account for thermal expansion, enabling consistent mass flow comparison.

Can this conversion tool be used for other fuels besides gasoline?

No, this tool is designed specifically for gasoline with density at 15.5°C. Different fuels require their own density references and conversion factors.

What industries benefit from using this unit converter?

Oil and gas industries such as refineries, pipelines, terminals, and logistics operations use this conversion to measure and report fuel flows accurately.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms flow rates measured in kilobarrel (US)/day, a volumetric unit used mainly in the oil industry, into pound/minute, a mass flow unit specifically referencing gasoline density at 15.5°C. It helps standardize measurements for custody transfer, billing, quality control, and engineering.

How to Use This Tool?

Input the flow value in kilobarrel (US)/day you want to convert
Select pound/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) as the target unit
Initiate the conversion to obtain the equivalent mass flow rate
Use the resulting value for reporting, billing, or engineering calculations

Key Features

Converts volumetric flow from kilobarrel (US)/day to mass flow in pound/minute standardized at 15.5°C
Reflects common industry standards for gasoline flow measurement
Browser-based and easy to use for quick unit translation
Supports oil and gas sector applications including refinery and pipeline operations

Examples

Convert 2 kilobarrel (US)/day to pound/minute resulting in approximately 359.92 pound/minute
Convert 0.5 kilobarrel (US)/day to pound/minute resulting in approximately 89.98 pound/minute

Common Use Cases

Reporting an oil field's production rate in standardized mass flow
Specifying pipeline or tanker throughput in gasoline shipments
Refinery crude oil processing capacity measurements
Custody transfer and invoicing where volume is corrected to 15.5°C
Engineering tasks such as pump selection and emissions estimation

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the gasoline density reference temperature is 15.5°C for accurate conversion
Use this conversion only for gasoline due to its specific density standard
Double-check measurements and calibration for consistent results
Apply the tool for custody transfer and quality control to maintain standardization

Limitations

Conversion assumes gasoline density at 15.5°C; results vary if temperature differs
Not directly applicable to other petroleum products without adjustments
Accuracy depends on precise calibration and temperature control during measurement
