What Is This Tool?

This tool converts volumetric flow expressed in kilobarrel (US)/day to mass flow measured in pound/second for gasoline conditioned at 15.5°C. It aids in translating oil volume flows into mass-based values critical for various industrial applications.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow value in kilobarrel (US)/day you want to convert
Select kilobarrel (US)/day as the input unit and pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C) as the output unit
Perform the conversion to obtain the corresponding mass flow in pounds per second

Key Features

Converts volumetric flow in kilobarrel (US)/day to mass flow in pound/second for gasoline at 15.5°C
Supports applications in oil field production reporting, pipeline throughput, and refinery intake characterization
Facilitates custody transfer, inventory control, and fuel-consumption measurement with temperature-specific density consideration

Examples

Convert 2 kbbl/day to pound/second: 2 × 2.9993055558 = 5.9986111116 pound/second
Convert 0.5 kbbl/day to pound/second: 0.5 × 2.9993055558 = 1.4996527779 pound/second

Common Use Cases

Reporting production rates of oil fields in volumetric units converted to mass flow rates
Measuring pipeline or tanker throughput capacities based on gasoline mass flow
Fuel delivery and pump performance assessment in automotive and petroleum engineering
