Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure gasoline density is correctly referenced to 15.5°C for accurate conversion
-
Verify measurement conditions before applying volumetric flow results in process controls
-
Use this conversion for coordinating mass flow reports with volume-based equipment needs
-
Confirm whether gasoline vapor behavior is defined when applying volumetric equivalency
-
Consider environmental and process parameters to maintain consistency
Limitations
-
Conversion depends on gasoline density at 15.5°C; deviations in temperature or composition can reduce accuracy
-
Target unit measures gas volume, so results are approximations when applied to gasoline vapor
-
Not accurate for direct liquid volumetric flow conversions without additional corrections
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the temperature 15.5°C used in gasoline mass flow measurements?
-
The reference temperature of 15.5°C standardizes gasoline density to enable consistent mass-volume conversion for custody transfer and inventory management.
-
Can this conversion be used for liquid gasoline volumetric flow?
-
No, this conversion is best suited for relating mass flow to volumetric gas flow and does not directly apply to liquid volumes without further corrections.
-
What are typical applications of the hundred-cubic foot per minute unit?
-
It quantifies volumetric flow of gases in ventilation, HVAC, and industrial processes like fan capacity and ductwork design.
Key Terminology
-
Kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate specifying gasoline mass passing a point per day, standardized to 15.5°C to correct for volume variations due to temperature.
-
Hundred-cubic foot/minute
-
A volumetric flow rate unit equal to 100 cubic feet of fluid moving past a point every minute, commonly used in ventilation and industrial airflow.
-
Custody transfer
-
The standardized process of transferring fuel ownership measured with consistent units and reference conditions.
