Key Features
-
Converts mass flow of gasoline at 15.5°C to volumetric flow in liters per day.
-
Ensures density-based conversion accuracy by referencing gasoline density at standard temperature.
-
Useful for custody transfer, fuel consumption reporting, and flow meter calibration.
-
Browser-based and straightforward to use without requiring installation.
Examples
-
2 kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C) equals approximately 64.92 liter/day.
-
0.5 kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C) equals approximately 16.23 liter/day.
Common Use Cases
-
Custody transfer and billing of gasoline where mass is converted from volume at 15.5°C.
-
Standardizing fuel consumption or engine fuel flow for performance testing and reporting.
-
Calibration and verification of flow meters using density-corrected mass flows.
-
Tracking small-scale industrial and environmental fluid volumes on a daily basis.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure gasoline density is referenced at 15.5°C to maintain conversion accuracy.
-
Use consistent standard temperature conditions when comparing mass and volume flows.
-
Prefer volumetric flow reporting in liter/day for daily consumption or dosing contexts.
-
Avoid using volumetric conversions in highly dynamic systems requiring real-time measurement.
Limitations
-
Accuracy depends on the gasoline density being correctly referenced at 15.5°C.
-
Temperature variations or gasoline composition changes can affect conversion precision.
-
Not ideal for high dynamic flow systems needing immediate or hourly flow rates.
-
Standard conditions must be maintained to ensure meaningful mass-to-volume comparisons.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is gasoline density referenced at 15.5°C for this conversion?
-
Referencing gasoline density at 15.5°C provides a standardized basis for accurate mass-to-volume conversion, ensuring consistency in custody transfer and technical measurements.
-
Can this tool convert real-time flow rates directly from kilogram/hour to liter/day?
-
This tool converts hourly mass flow into daily volumetric flow; it is not designed for instantaneous real-time flow measurements.
-
Is this conversion suitable for all types of gasoline?
-
The conversion assumes gasoline density at 15.5°C; variations in gasoline composition may affect accuracy.
