What Is This Tool?
This converter allows users to transform flow measurements from kilogram per hour, referenced to gasoline density at 15.5°C, into milliliter per second, a volumetric flow unit suitable for precise liquid or gas flow quantification.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C) you want to convert
-
Select kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C) as the input unit and milliliter/second [mL/s] as the output unit
-
Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent volumetric flow rate
Key Features
-
Converts standardized mass flow rates of gasoline at 15.5°C to volumetric flow in milliliters per second
-

-
Provides conversion based on consistent gasoline density at 15.5°C
-
Includes examples for quick reference and ease of use
Examples
-
5 kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C) equals approximately 1.87858 milliliter/second
-
10 kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C) equals approximately 3.75716 milliliter/second
Common Use Cases
-
Custody transfer and billing of gasoline at terminals where volume is converted to mass at 15.5°C
-
Reporting fuel consumption or engine fuel flow standardized to reference temperature
-
Calibration of flow meters and dispensers using density-corrected mass flow values
-
Setting flow rates on syringe pumps and microfluidic devices
-
Measuring small airflow volumes in respiratory testing
-
Calibration of precise laboratory liquid-handling instruments
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure input values represent gasoline mass flow standardized to 15.5°C for accurate conversion
-
Use this converter to translate mass flow rates into volumetric flow rates when volume-based metrics are required
-
Consider rechecking fluid density if temperature or gasoline composition changes significantly
Limitations
-
Conversion accuracy depends on assuming gasoline density at exactly 15.5°C
-
Changes in gasoline temperature or composition can alter density, affecting results
-
Milliliter/second measures volumetric flow, so mass-to-volume variations must be accounted for
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is gasoline density fixed at 15.5°C in this conversion?
-
The gasoline density at 15.5°C is used as a standard reference to ensure consistent mass-to-volume conversions, as density varies with temperature.
-
Can this tool convert flow rates for fluids other than gasoline?
-
This converter is specifically designed for gasoline flow standardized at 15.5°C; using it for other fluids may produce inaccurate results.
-
What should I do if the gasoline temperature differs from 15.5°C?
-
Since the conversion assumes density at 15.5°C, deviations in temperature require adjusting the density or using a different conversion approach.
Key Terminology
-
kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate unit specifying gasoline mass delivered or consumed per hour, standardized by referencing gasoline density at 15.5°C.
-
milliliter/second [mL/s]
-
A metric unit measuring volumetric flow as one milliliter of fluid passing a point each second.
-
Density reference temperature
-
A specific temperature (15.5°C) at which the gasoline density is standardized to enable consistent mass-to-volume flow conversions.
