What Is This Tool?
This converter helps translate mass flow rates of gasoline at a standard temperature of 15.5°C into volumetric flow rates expressed in milliliters per day. It ensures consistent conversion by referencing gasoline density at 15.5°C, used for applications like fuel billing, engine performance reporting, and low flow volume measurements.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in kilogram/hour for gasoline at 15.5°C you wish to convert
-
Select the target unit as milliliter per day [mL/d]
-
Initiate the conversion to obtain the volumetric flow equivalent
-
Use the result for calibration, reporting, or monitoring tasks related to flow rates
Key Features
-

Examples
-
2 kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C) equals 64923.73 milliliter/day [mL/d]
-
0.5 kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C) equals 16230.93 milliliter/day [mL/d]
Common Use Cases
-
Fuel custody transfer and billing at terminals or pipelines with standard temperature referencing
-
Engine fuel consumption reporting standardized to 15.5°C for performance comparison
-
Calibration and verification of flow meters using density-corrected mass flow values
-
Clinical monitoring of daily fluid volumes such as urine or surgical drain output
-
Measuring low-rate infusions or drug delivery volumes over a day
-
Environmental and laboratory measurements of small seepage or leak rates
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always ensure the gasoline density corresponds to 15.5°C for accurate conversion
-
Use milliliter per day units for very low continuous or cumulative flow rates
-
Cross-check conversions when operating outside standard temperature or composition to avoid errors
-
Apply the tool for calibration and reporting where volume-based flow measurement is required
-
Remember that milliliter per day units may be impractical for high flow rates without appropriate scaling
Limitations
-
Conversion accuracy depends on the standard gasoline density at 15.5°C; variations impact results
-
Milliliter per day is intended for very low flow volumes and may not suit high flow rates directly
-
Assumes constant density; changes in temperature or pressure can cause conversion inaccuracies
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is gasoline density at 15.5°C used in this conversion?
-
The gasoline density at 15.5°C provides a standard reference to ensure consistent and accurate mass-to-volume flow conversions across different measurements and conditions.
-
Can this conversion be used for high flow rates?
-
The milliliter per day unit is suited for very low flow measurements, so it may not be practical for high flow rates without applying appropriate scaling.
-
What factors might affect the accuracy of this converter?
-
Variations in gasoline composition, temperature deviations from 15.5°C, and changes in pressure can lead to less accurate conversion results.
Key Terminology
-
Kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate unit for gasoline referencing its density at 15.5°C to maintain consistent mass-to-volume measurement conversions.
-
Milliliter/day [mL/d]
-
A volumetric flow rate unit expressing the volume of fluid moved or consumed in milliliters over the period of one day, suited for low flow rates.
-
Density
-
The mass per unit volume of a substance, critical in converting between mass flow and volumetric flow rates.
