What Is This Tool?
This tool converts flow rates from kilogram per minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C), which represents a mass flow rate corrected for a standard reference temperature, into milliliters per second, a metric unit of volumetric flow rate commonly used in lab and medical settings.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Input the value in kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) to be converted.
-
Select the input unit as kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
-
Choose the output unit as milliliter/second [mL/s].
-
Click convert to obtain the equivalent volumetric flow rate.
Key Features
-
Converts mass flow of gasoline at a standardized temperature to volumetric flow rates.
-
Uses a fixed conversion rate based on gasoline density at 15.5°C.
-
Supports precise flow measurement translation for industrial, medical, and laboratory use.
Examples
-
Convert 2 kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) to 45.0859 milliliter/second [mL/s].
-
Convert 0.5 kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) to 11.2715 milliliter/second [mL/s].
Common Use Cases
-
Fuel quantity monitoring and custody transfer in gasoline terminals and pipelines.
-
Calibration and verification of fuel flowmeters and tanker truck loading.
-
Precise measurement of small volumetric flows for medical or laboratory instruments.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure the gasoline density is referenced to 15.5°C for accurate conversions.
-
Use this converter for flow rates where standardized temperature references are critical.
-
Apply the tool in engineering contexts where volume flow understanding complements mass flow data.
Limitations
-
Conversion accuracy relies on gasoline density standardized at 15.5°C; deviations reduce precision.
-
Variations in fuel composition and temperature can affect the reliability of converted values.
-
Mass to volume flow conversion assumes steady fluid properties that may vary in some conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is gasoline measured at 15.5°C for this conversion?
-
The 15.5°C reference temperature standardizes the gasoline density to provide consistent mass-to-volume conversions, accounting for thermal expansion effects.
-
Can I use this converter for other fuels or temperatures?
-
This tool is designed specifically for gasoline at 15.5°C; using it for other fuels or temperatures may lead to inaccurate results due to differences in density.
-
What does milliliter per second represent in flow measurement?
-
Milliliter per second is a volumetric flow rate unit indicating how many milliliters of fluid pass a point each second, ideal for small-scale liquid or gas flow assessment.
Key Terminology
-
Kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
