Why is 15.5°C used as the reference temperature for gasoline flow measurements?

15.5°C is the standard temperature used in petroleum measurement to normalize density and ensure consistent mass–volume conversions for custody and inventory purposes.

Can I use this conversion for other fluids besides gasoline?

No, this conversion is specific to gasoline mass flow rates referenced at 15.5°C and may not be accurate for other substances.

What happens if the gasoline density is not referenced at 15.5°C?

Deviations from 15.5°C reference temperature may lead to inaccurate conversions and errors in mass flow rate calculations.

What Is This Tool?

This unit converter helps change flow measurements of gasoline at a standard temperature of 15.5°C from kilogram per day to pound per hour. It ensures that mass flow rates are consistently referenced to corrections for temperature, which is essential for accurate custody and inventory operations.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow rate value in kilogram/day for gasoline at 15.5°C
Select the source unit as kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
Choose the target unit as pound/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
Perform the conversion to obtain the equivalent flow rate in pounds per hour

Key Features

Converts mass flow rate units for gasoline at 15.5°C from kilogram/day to pound/hour
Maintains standardized temperature reference to 15.5°C for reliable density-based calculations
Supports petroleum industry applications including custody transfer and fuel inventory

Examples

10 kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C) converts to approximately 0.9186 pound/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
50 kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C) converts to approximately 4.593 pound/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C)

Common Use Cases

Custody transfer and invoicing for gasoline deliveries via pipeline, tanker, or terminal based on mass standardized at 15.5°C
Inventory reconciliation and throughput reporting at fuel depots and refineries regardless of temperature differences
Fuel consumption, emissions, and process mass balance calculations in refining and distribution environments with temperature correction

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure gasoline density values are referenced at the standard temperature of 15.5°C to maintain accuracy
Use this conversion for mass flow rates only, and avoid applying it directly to volumetric flows without proper adjustments
Apply conversion carefully in custody transfer and engineering calculations to align with temperature-corrected measurements

Limitations

Conversion accuracy depends on gasoline density being referenced precisely at 15.5°C; deviations may cause errors
Only valid for mass-based flow rates temperature-corrected at 15.5°C; does not apply to volumetric flow or densities at other temperatures
Specific to gasoline at 15.5°C and should not be used for other fluids or temperature references
