What Is This Tool?
This online unit converter transforms mass flow rates of gasoline measured in kilogram per minute at 15.5°C into volumetric flow rates expressed in gallons (US) per hour. It supports users in fuel distribution, engine testing, and flow measurement in non-SI units.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value in kilogram per minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
-
Select the source unit 'kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C)'.
-
Choose the target unit 'gallon (US)/hour [gal (US)/h]'.
-
Click convert to get the equivalent volumetric flow rate.
Key Features
-
Converts gasoline flow rates from kilogram/minute at 15.5°C to gal (US)/hour accurately.
-
Based on standardized reference temperature to ensure consistent measurements.
-
Suitable for fuel monitoring, custody transfer, and vehicle fuel consumption tests.
Examples
-
2 kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) equals 42.8776 gallon (US)/hour.
-
0.5 kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) equals 10.7194 gallon (US)/hour.
Common Use Cases
-
Custody transfer and invoicing in gasoline terminals using mass flow rates at 15.5°C.
-
Calibrating fuel flowmeters and managing tanker truck loading with standard density corrections.
-
Evaluating fuel burn rates for small aircraft and marine engines reported in gallons per hour.
-
Specifying flow rates for small chemical dosing pumps and HVAC applications.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always verify the gasoline temperature to match the 15.5°C reference for accurate conversions.
-
Use this tool for general flow rate conversions when exact local density measurements are unavailable.
-
Convert volumetric flow results to SI units if required for compliance with international standards.
Limitations
-
Conversion presumes gasoline density at the 15.5°C standard reference temperature.
-
Changes in actual temperature or gasoline composition may affect conversion accuracy.
-
Volumetric unit gal (US)/h is non-SI and may require additional conversion for SI-based systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the gasoline temperature set at 15.5°C for this conversion?
-
The 15.5°C reference temperature standardizes the gasoline density for consistent mass–volume conversions across different conditions.
-
Can this tool be used for other liquids besides gasoline?
-
This converter specifically applies to gasoline with density referenced at 15.5°C and may not provide accurate results for other liquids.
-
What does 1 kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) convert to in gallons (US) per hour?
-
1 kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) equals approximately 21.4388 gallon (US) per hour.
Key Terminology
-
Kilogram per minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate measuring how much gasoline mass flows each minute, standardized for density at 15.5°C.
-
Gallon (US)/hour [gal (US)/h]
-
A volumetric flow rate representing the number of US liquid gallons passing a point each hour.
-
Reference Temperature
-
A standardized temperature used to ensure consistent density and volume measurements across different conditions.
