What Is This Tool?
This tool facilitates the conversion of flow rates from kilogram per minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C), a mass flow unit specific to gasoline measured at a standard temperature, into acre-foot per day, a volumetric flow unit commonly used in water resources management. It enables users to translate mass flow data into volumetric flow terms relevant for water-related contexts.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) that you want to convert
-
Select the target unit as acre-foot/day [ac*ft/d]

Tips & Best Practices
-
Always ensure gasoline density corresponds to the 15.5°C reference temperature for accuracy
-
Use the tool to compare fuel flow data with water resource volumes effectively
-
Understand the context of volumetric units like acre-foot/day when applying to fuel flow
-
Verify flowmeter calibration regularly when using converted values for custody transfer
-
Account for possible density variations when interpreting converted results
Limitations
-
Gasoline density may vary with temperature or composition changes affecting conversion accuracy
-
Acre-foot/day is primarily designed for water volumes and may be less intuitive for fuel measurements
-
Measurement precision can be influenced by fluctuations in gasoline density and flow accuracy
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is gasoline density referenced at 15.5°C?
-
The reference temperature of 15.5°C standardizes gasoline density to ensure consistent mass-volume conversions across different conditions.
-
Can this conversion be used for fluids other than gasoline?
-
No, this conversion specifically applies to gasoline flow measured at the 15.5°C reference temperature and may not be accurate for other fluids.
-
What is an acre-foot/day used for?
-
An acre-foot/day measures volumetric flow, commonly used in water resources for irrigation delivery rates and reservoir flow assessments.
Key Terminology
-
Kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
