What Is This Tool?
This tool converts flow rates from kilogram/hour for gasoline at 15.5°C, a mass-based unit referenced to a standard temperature, into liter/minute, a volumetric flow rate measurement commonly used in various engineering and medical settings.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate value in kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
Select the target unit as liter/minute [L/min]
-
Press convert to get the volumetric flow rate
-
Use the result for monitoring or reporting gasoline flows in relevant applications
Key Features
-
Converts mass flow of gasoline at 15.5°C to volumetric flow in liters per minute
-
Uses a standardized reference temperature for accurate density-based conversions
-
Supports applications in custody transfer, fuel consumption, and flow meter calibration
-
Browser-based and easy to use without complex inputs
-
Provides direct conversion with predefined formula and rates
Examples
-
10 kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C) converts to approximately 0.2254 liter/minute
-
50 kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C) converts to about 1.1271 liter/minute
Common Use Cases
-
Custody transfer and billing of gasoline at terminals or pipelines where volumes are converted to mass at 15.5 °C
-
Reporting fuel consumption or standardized engine fuel flow rates for comparison and performance testing
-
Calibration and verification of flow meters and dispensers using density-corrected mass flow measurements
-
Translating gasoline mass flow rates to volumetric flow rates for process control and instrumentation
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure gasoline is at or corrected to the reference temperature of 15.5 °C before conversion
-
Use this conversion only for gasoline or similar fuels standardized at 15.5 °C
-
Cross-check converted values against flow meter calibrations for accuracy in critical applications
-
Avoid applying this conversion to other hydrocarbons or gasoline at significantly different temperatures without adjustment
Limitations
-
The conversion assumes gasoline density at exactly 15.5 °C; changes in temperature or fuel composition affect results
-
Not valid for other liquids or hydrocarbons without further modification
-
Requires standardization of gasoline temperature for precise metering
-
Does not account for temperature variations during measurement or flow
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the temperature 15.5 °C important for this unit?
-
15.5 °C is used as a reference temperature to ensure gasoline density is standardized, allowing accurate conversion between mass and volume flow rates.
-
Can I use this conversion for other fuels or temperatures?
-
No, this conversion specifically applies to gasoline flow rates at 15.5 °C and may not provide accurate results for other fuels or temperatures without adjustments.
-
What is the conversion rate from kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C) to liter/minute?
-
One kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C) is equal to approximately 0.02254 liter/minute.
Key Terminology
-
Kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow unit specifying the amount of gasoline per hour with density referenced to 15.5 °C for consistent measurement.
-
Liter/minute [L/min]
-
A metric volumetric flow rate measuring the fluid volume passing a point each minute, commonly used in engineering and medical fields.
-
Custody transfer
-
The process of transferring ownership and measurement of gasoline, which requires precise conversions between mass and volume.
