Examples
-
2 kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C) converts to approximately 2705.16 mL/h.
-
0.5 kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C) converts to approximately 676.29 mL/h.
Common Use Cases
-
Custody transfer and billing of gasoline during fuel terminal or pipeline operations.
-
Reporting and comparing engine fuel consumption standardized to 15.5 °C.
-
Calibration and verification of flow meters using density-corrected gasoline mass flow.
-

-
Small-scale chemical dosing and environmental monitoring requiring volume flow rates.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure gasoline temperature is close to 15.5 °C for accurate density reference.
-
Use the conversion primarily when fuel composition and temperature are consistent.
-
Cross-verify flow meter calibration for reliable measurement before conversion.
-
Apply conversion results in contexts where precise volumetric rates are essential.
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes gasoline density fixed at 15.5 °C; temperature deviations affect results.
-
Not suitable for gasoline or fuels with significantly different temperature or composition.
-
Measurement device precision impacts the reliability of converted flow values.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the temperature of 15.5 °C important in this conversion?
-
The 15.5 °C temperature standardizes gasoline density, enabling consistent conversion between mass and volume flow rates.
-
Can this converter be used for other fuels besides gasoline?
-
No, this conversion specifically uses gasoline density at 15.5 °C and is not accurate for other fuels or fluids with different properties.
-
What if the gasoline temperature varies during measurement?
-
Variations from 15.5 °C affect gasoline density and can result in inaccuracies in the converted volumetric flow rate.
Key Terminology
