What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to change flow units from kilogram per minute for gasoline at 15.5°C, a standardized mass flow rate, into hundred-cubic foot per day, a volumetric flow rate commonly used in engineering and utilities.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in kilogram per minute for gasoline at 15.5°C.
-
Select the input unit (kilogram/minute, gasoline at 15.5°C).
-
Choose the output unit as hundred-cubic foot per day.
-
Click convert to see the equivalent volumetric flow rate.
Key Features
-
Converts gasoline mass flow rates referenced to 15.5°C to volumetric flow units.
-
Supports standardized reference temperature for consistent mass–volume comparisons.
-
Provides clear output in hundred-cubic foot per day for small continuous flow rates.
Examples
-
1 kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) equals approximately 0.6878 hundred-cubic foot/day.
-
10 kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) converts to about 6.8783 hundred-cubic foot/day.
Common Use Cases
-
Custody transfer and invoicing for gasoline where mass is reported at 15.5°C.
-
Calibrating and verifying fuel flowmeters for tanker truck loading/unloading.
-
Comparing engine and vehicle fuel consumption tests expressed at a standard temperature.
-
Reporting natural gas production or distribution pipeline flow rates in utility applications.
-
Specifying groundwater pumping or wastewater influent rates in engineering projects.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always ensure gasoline density corresponds to the 15.5°C reference for accuracy.
-
Use this conversion primarily when standardized mass flow values need volumetric expression.
-
Remember that volumetric flow is based on typical conditions and may require adjustment for other fluids.
Limitations
-
Accuracy depends on maintaining the 15.5°C reference temperature and gasoline density consistency.
-
Volumetric flow units assume standard conditions and might not suit all gas or liquid densities.
-
Conversion factors apply specifically to gasoline at 15.5°C and are not valid for other liquids or gases without recalculation.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is gasoline flow referenced to 15.5°C?
-
Referencing gasoline flow at 15.5°C standardizes measurements by accounting for thermal expansion, ensuring consistent mass to volume conversions.
-
Can I use this conversion for fluids other than gasoline?
-
No, the conversion factor is specific to gasoline at 15.5°C and should not be applied to other fluids without proper recalculations.
-
What does hundred-cubic foot per day measure?
-
It measures volumetric flow rate representing 100 cubic feet of fluid passing a point each day, useful for small continuous flow rates.
Key Terminology
-
Kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
Mass flow rate expressing gasoline mass per minute standardized at 15.5°C to ensure consistency in density and thermal expansion.
-
Hundred-cubic foot/day
-
Volumetric flow rate equivalent to 100 cubic feet of fluid passing a point each day, used for small continuous flows.
-
Reference Temperature
-
A standardized temperature, here 15.5°C, used to correct and compare fluid densities for accurate conversions.
