What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms flow rate values specified in kilogram/day for gasoline at a standard temperature of 15.5°C into volumetric flow rates expressed as hundred-cubic foot per hour. It facilitates the translation between mass-based and volume-based flow units commonly used in fuel delivery, refining, and gas utility contexts.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Input the value in kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
Select the corresponding flow units for input and output
-
Click convert to get the equivalent flow in hundred-cubic foot/hour
-
Use the converted results for process control, reporting, or equipment sizing
Key Features
-
Converts gasoline mass flow at 15.5°C to volumetric gas flow
-
Uses a standard reference temperature for consistent measurement
-
Supports applications in fuel custody transfer and inventory management
-
Expresses results in hundred-cubic foot/hour, an imperial volumetric unit
-
Browser-based, user-friendly interface for quick conversions
Examples
-
1000 kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C) equals approximately 0.0199024 hundred-cubic foot/hour
-
500 kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C) equals approximately 0.0099512 hundred-cubic foot/hour
Common Use Cases
-
Custody transfer and invoicing for gasoline transported by pipeline or tanker
-
Inventory reconciliation and throughput reporting at fuel depots and refineries
-
Calculating fuel consumption and emissions in refining operations
-
Utility measurement of natural gas or small gas flow rates
-
Sizing and monitoring low-rate gas supplies to appliances and pilot lines
-
Specifying ventilation and exhaust rates using imperial volume units
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always verify that gasoline is referenced at 15.5°C for accuracy
-
Use the tool for low-to-moderate flow rates consistent with the unit scale
-
Interpret values carefully due to the small conversion rate between units
-
Apply converted flow rates appropriately in utility reporting and process control
-
Cross-check conversions when comparing to other measurement systems
Limitations
-
The conversion assumes gasoline properties fixed at 15.5°C, so temperature or composition changes can affect accuracy
-
Conversion values are very small as they represent mass flow of liquid gasoline converted to volumetric gas flow units
-
Care is needed to ensure units are correctly applied and interpreted in context
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is 15.5°C used as a reference temperature?
-
A standard temperature of 15.5°C is used to correct gasoline volumetric measurements to a common basis, ensuring consistent mass-volume conversion for custody transfer and inventory management.
-
What does hundred-cubic foot/hour represent?
-
Hundred-cubic foot/hour is a volumetric flow rate unit indicating 100 cubic feet passing a point per hour, commonly used for low-to-moderate gas or air flow rates.
-
Can this converter be used for other fuels or temperatures?
-
This tool specifically converts gasoline flow standardized at 15.5°C and may not provide accurate results for other fuels or different temperature conditions.
Key Terminology
-
Kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)

A mass flow rate specifying the mass of gasoline passing a point per day, standardized at 15.5°C for consistent measurement.
-
Hundred-cubic foot/hour
-
A volumetric flow rate representing 100 cubic feet of gas passing a point each hour, used for low to moderate flow rates.
-
Reference Temperature
-
A standard temperature used to correct volumetric measurements for consistent comparison, commonly 15.5°C in petroleum measurement.
