Supports applications in fuel custody transfer, fuel consumption reporting, and flow meter calibration.
-
Browser-based, easy-to-use interface for quick and reliable unit conversion.
Examples
-
10 kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C) converts to 0.013525777 cubic meter/hour [m³/h].
-
100 kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C) converts to 0.13525777 cubic meter/hour [m³/h].
Common Use Cases
-
Custody transfer and billing of gasoline at terminals or pipelines where volumes are converted to mass at 15.5 °C.
-
Reporting standardized fuel consumption or engine fuel flow for performance comparisons and testing.
-
Calibration and verification of flow meters and dispensers using density-corrected mass flow values.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use the standard temperature of 15.5 °C as reference for consistent and accurate density-based conversions.
-
Ensure measurement tools and flow meters are properly calibrated before conversions.
-
Apply the conversion specifically for gasoline at 15.5 °C to avoid errors with other fluids or temperatures.
Limitations
-
Conversion depends on gasoline density at 15.5 °C; temperature or composition changes may affect volume calculations.
-
Not applicable to fluids other than gasoline or different temperature conditions without adjustment.
-
Requires precise measurement and calibration for reliable conversion between mass and volume flow rates.
Frequently Asked Questions
