Examples
-
10 kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C) converts to 0.317611759 ounce/minute [oz/min].
-
50 kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C) converts to 1.588058795 ounce/minute [oz/min].
Common Use Cases
-
Custody transfer and invoicing of gasoline delivered through pipelines or tankers.
-
Inventory reconciliation and throughput reporting at refineries and fuel depots.
-
Calculating fuel consumption or emissions in refining and distribution systems.
-
Dosing small liquids like adhesives or flavorings in manufacturing processes.
-
Controlling lubrication or coolant supply rates in production equipment.
-
Measuring dispensing rates for syrups, sauces, or beverages in food service.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure the gasoline sample is referenced to the standard temperature of 15.5°C for accuracy.
-
Clarify whether ounce/minute refers to mass or fluid ounces based on your context.
-
Use the conversion factor consistently to maintain measurement uniformity.
-
Apply this conversion when precise small-scale flow rates are needed for dosing controls.
-
Consult industry standards when performing custody transfer or inventory reporting.
Limitations
-
Kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C) is specific to gasoline temperature-standardized at 15.5°C and may not apply for other temperatures or fluids.
-
Ounce/minute may indicate either mass or volumetric flow; clarity on which applies is essential to prevent misinterpretation.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the standard temperature of 15.5°C important for kilogram/day measurements?
-
It ensures gasoline mass flow is standardized by correcting for temperature variations, allowing consistent and comparable reporting.
-
Does ounce/minute always refer to mass flow?
-
No, ounce/minute can refer to either mass or volume flow units depending on the context, so it's important to confirm the measurement basis.
-
What industries commonly use this unit conversion?
-
The petroleum and refining industries use it extensively, along with manufacturing and food service sectors for precise dosing of liquids.
Key Terminology
-
Kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate indicating how many kilograms of gasoline pass a point per day, adjusted to a standard temperature of 15.5°C for consistent measurement.
-
Ounce/minute [oz/min]
-
A flow rate unit detailing ounces passing a point each minute, referring to mass or volume ounces depending on the use case.
-
Custody Transfer
-
The process of transferring ownership and responsibility for a product, such as gasoline, where precise and standardized measurements are critical.
