What Is This Tool?
This tool converts flow rates given in kilogram per day for gasoline at 15.5°C into acre-foot per day, a unit of volumetric flow. It helps standardize gasoline mass flow rates to volumetric units used in water resource management and engineering.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in kilogram/day for gasoline at 15.5°C
-
Select kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C) as the input unit
-
Choose acre-foot/day [ac*ft/d] as the output unit
-
Click convert to get the equivalent volumetric flow
Key Features
-
Converts gasoline mass flow at 15.5°C to volumetric flow in acre-foot/day
-
Supports comparisons between petroleum flow and water resource measurements
-
Uses standardized reference temperature for density consistency
-
Provides clear conversion formula and examples
Examples
-
1,000 kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C) equals 0.0010965482 acre-foot/day
-
10,000 kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C) equals 0.0109654821 acre-foot/day
Common Use Cases
-
Custody transfer and invoicing for gasoline deliveries standardized at 15.5°C
-
Inventory management and throughput reporting at refineries and fuel depots
-
Expressing gasoline flow rates in volumetric units for comparison with water flows
-
Planning irrigation delivery rates and water resource management involving multiple fluid types
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure gasoline density corresponds to the standard 15.5°C reference temperature
-
Use this converter when integrating gasoline flow data with water resource metrics
-
Verify units carefully before converting to avoid misinterpretation
-
Consider the large scale of acre-foot/day when evaluating small gasoline mass flows
Limitations
-
Assumes gasoline density standardized at 15.5°C; deviations may affect results
-
Acre-foot/day is a large volumetric unit, which may limit resolution for small gasoline flows
-
Conversion is mainly applicable for contexts integrating petroleum and water flow data
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the temperature 15.5°C specified for gasoline flow?
-
The 15.5°C reference temperature standardizes gasoline density for consistent mass to volume conversion and reporting in petroleum measurement.
-
What does acre-foot/day measure?
-
An acre-foot/day measures volumetric flow equivalent to delivering or removing one acre-foot of volume each day, commonly used in water resource management.
-
Can this conversion be used for fluids other than gasoline and water?
-
This conversion specifically applies to gasoline mass flow at 15.5°C to water-related volumetric flow units; other fluids may require different references.
Key Terminology
-
Kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate measuring gasoline mass passing a point per day, standardized to gasoline density at 15.5°C.
-
Acre-foot/day [ac*ft/d]
-
Volumetric flow rate defined as one acre-foot volume delivered or removed daily, used in water resource and hydraulic applications.
-
Fuel custody transfer
-
The process of transferring ownership of fuel quantities, often requiring standardized flow measurements.
