What Is This Tool?
This tool converts flow rates measured in kilograms per day of gasoline at 15.5°C to volumetric flow rates in US gallons per day. It accounts for temperature-standardized gasoline mass flow rates to provide consistent volume-based results.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value in kilograms per day (gasoline at 15.5°C).
-
Select the target unit as gallon (US) per day.
-
Click convert to see the equivalent volume flow rate in gal (US)/d.
-
Use the results for reporting, inventory, or process calculations.
Key Features
-
Converts mass flow of gasoline at 15.5°C to US gallons per day
-
Based on standardized temperature for accurate petroleum measurements
-
Useful for inventory, custody transfer, and operational reporting
-
Browser-based and easy to use with straightforward input and output
-
Supports petroleum industry applications like pipeline and refinery management
Examples
-
10 Kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C) = 3.573132288 Gallon (US)/day
-
50 Kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C) = 17.86566144 Gallon (US)/day
Common Use Cases
-
Custody transfer and invoicing for gasoline deliveries standardized at 15.5°C
-
Inventory reconciliation and throughput reporting at fuel depots and refineries
-
Calculating fuel consumption and emissions in refining and distribution
-
Translating mass flow rates into volumetric flows for operational monitoring
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure gasoline density is referenced at 15.5°C for accurate conversion
-
Use this converter for temperature-corrected mass flows to avoid errors
-
Confirm flow values are specific to gasoline and not other fuels
-
Verify temperature conditions to maintain measurement consistency
Limitations
-
Assumes gasoline density at precisely 15.5°C; variations may reduce accuracy
-
Not applicable for fluids other than gasoline without adjusting for density and temperature
-
Conversion may have errors due to measurement uncertainties in flow and temperature
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the temperature 15.5°C significant for this conversion?
-
The 15.5°C temperature standardizes gasoline density to ensure consistent mass-to-volume conversion used in custody transfer and inventory.
-
Can I use this conversion for fuels other than gasoline?
-
No, this conversion is specific to gasoline with density referenced at 15.5°C and may not be accurate for other fuels without adjustments.
-
What does 1 Kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C) equal in gallons per day?
-
1 Kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C) equals approximately 0.3573132288 Gallon (US) per day.
Key Terminology
