What Is This Tool?
This tool converts flow measurements from kilogram per hour for gasoline measured at 15.5 °C to acre-foot per day, a volumetric flow rate commonly used in water resource management and hydraulic engineering.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value in kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
Select kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C) as the source unit
-
Choose acre-foot/day [ac*ft/d] as the target unit
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent volumetric flow
-
Use the result for planning, reporting, or integration with water flow data
Key Features
-
Converts mass flow rates of gasoline at a reference temperature into volumetric flow rates
-
Handles the specific unit kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C) with accurate context
-
Outputs flow rates in acre-foot/day, used for water resource and hydraulic applications
-
Browser-based and easy to use for quick unit translation
-
Supports applications in fuel distribution, irrigation planning, and water management
Examples
-
1000 kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C) = 0.0263172 acre-foot/day
-
500 kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C) = 0.0131586 acre-foot/day
Common Use Cases
-
Custody transfer and billing of gasoline where volume is converted to mass at standard temperature
-
Fuel consumption reporting and engine flow standardization
-
Irrigation delivery rate specification in agricultural districts
-
Reservoir inflow/outflow analysis for water resource planning
-
Municipal and industrial surface-water withdrawal accounting
Tips & Best Practices
-
Confirm gasoline density is referenced to 15.5 °C for accurate conversion
-
Use this tool mainly for comparative or integrated reporting involving water flow units
-
Consider verifying flow meter calibration with density-corrected mass flow values
-
Be aware of temperature or composition changes that may affect conversion accuracy
-
Apply conversion results carefully when dealing with real-time operations
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes gasoline density fixed at 15.5 °C which may vary with conditions
-
Acre-foot/day is mainly for water flow, so its use for gasoline flow is context-specific
-
Precision depends on accurate density and temperature assumptions
-
Conversions might be unsuitable for operational decisions without adjustments
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is gasoline density referenced at 15.5 °C?
-
Referencing gasoline density at 15.5 °C ensures consistent and standardized mass-to-volume flow conversions for custody and billing purposes.
-
Can this conversion be used for real-time flow monitoring?
-
This conversion is primarily intended for reporting and planning, and real-time operations may require adjustments for temperature and composition changes.
-
What industries benefit from converting kilogram/hour (Gasoline) to acre-foot/day?
-
Petroleum fuel distribution, agricultural irrigation planning, water resource management, and municipal or industrial water withdrawal accounting commonly use this conversion.
Key Terminology
-
Kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate unit specifying gasoline mass per hour, referenced to standard density at 15.5 °C for accurate conversion.
-
Acre-foot/day [ac*ft/d]
-
A volumetric flow rate unit representing the movement of one acre-foot of volume over the period of one day, used mainly in water resources.
