What Is This Tool?
This unit converter transforms flow rates expressed in kilogram per minute for gasoline at the standardized temperature of 15.5°C into volumetric flow rates measured in milliliters per minute. It helps users translate mass flow to volume flow based on consistent density references to support precise measurement and comparison.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate value in kilogram per minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
Select kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) as the input unit
-
Choose milliliter/minute [mL/min] as the output unit
-
View the converted volumetric flow rate based on the standard conversion formula
Key Features
-
Converts gasoline mass flow at 15.5°C reference temperature to volumetric flow (mL/min)
-
Uses standardized density conditions to ensure consistent and comparable results
-
Supports applications in petroleum custody transfer, automotive fuel testing, and laboratory measurements
Examples
-
2 kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) equals approximately 2705.16 milliliter/minute
-
0.5 kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) converts to about 676.29 milliliter/minute
Common Use Cases
-
Custody transfer and billing in gasoline terminals or pipelines with mass reported at a 15.5°C reference
-
Calibration and verification of fuel flowmeters and tanker truck loading/unloading
-
Engine and vehicle fuel consumption testing using standardized temperature references
-
Setting infusion rates in medical applications for precise fluid delivery
-
Controlling small-scale fluid flows in laboratory and analytical experiments
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always use the 15.5°C density reference for consistent mass-to-volume conversions
-
Verify that gasoline composition matches standard assumptions to avoid conversion errors
-
Use milliliter/minute units for small volume flows and consider other volumetric units for larger scales
-
Confirm flowmeter calibration corresponds with the standardized temperature conditions
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes gasoline density at exactly 15.5°C; temperature deviations affect accuracy
-
Does not adjust for real-time changes in gasoline composition or density during flow
-
Milliliter per minute is suited for small volume flows; large flows may require different units
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the temperature 15.5°C important in this conversion?
-
The 15.5°C temperature is a standardized reference used to define gasoline density, ensuring consistent and comparable mass to volume conversions across different measurements.
-
Can I use this conversion for any type of liquid?
-
No, this conversion specifically relates to gasoline with a density referenced at 15.5°C and is not applicable to other liquids without adjustment.
-
Is milliliter per minute suitable for measuring large gasoline flows?
-
Milliliter per minute units are generally intended for small flow rates; for larger volumes, other volumetric flow units are more appropriate.
Key Terminology
-
Kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-

-
Milliliter/minute [mL/min]
-
A volumetric flow rate unit representing one milliliter of fluid passing a point every minute, often used for small and precise flows.
-
Standardized Density Reference
-
A fixed temperature condition (15.5°C for gasoline) used to provide consistent mass-to-volume conversions across varied contexts.
