What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms mass flow rates expressed in kilogram per minute based on gasoline density at 15.5°C into ounce (UK) per hour units. The tool is essential for handling flow measurements where standard reference conditions ensure consistent and comparable results.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) you want to convert
-
Select the target unit as ounce (UK)/hour [oz (UK)/h]
-
Click convert to see the equivalent mass flow rate in the desired unit
Key Features
-
Converts kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) to ounce (UK)/hour accurately

Uses standardized gasoline density reference for consistency
-
Facilitates conversions between large and very low mass flow rates
-
Suitable for custody transfer, fuel consumption testing, and dosing applications
Examples
-
2 kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) equals 5712.489 ounce (UK)/hour
-
0.5 kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) equals 1428.122 ounce (UK)/hour
Common Use Cases
-
Custody transfer and invoicing in gasoline terminals with standardized mass flow rates
-
Calibration of fuel flowmeters and tanker truck loading/unloading
-
Fuel-consumption testing for engines and vehicles
-
Low-rate dosing of chemicals and reagents in laboratory settings
-
Precision metering in pharmaceutical and specialty manufacturing
-
Micro-dosing in perfumery and flavoring production
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure flow measurements reference the standardized gasoline density at 15.5°C
-
Calibrate instruments carefully when converting between large and very small flow rates
-
Use the conversion tool for consistency in billing and testing processes
-
Verify temperature and fluid composition to avoid deviations affecting accuracy
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes standardized gasoline density at 15.5°C; variations may reduce accuracy
-
Differences in temperature or fluid composition can impact results
-
Measurements require precise instrument calibration, especially when converting vastly different flow rates
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is gasoline density referenced at 15.5°C for this conversion?
-
Referencing gasoline density at 15.5°C ensures consistency by standardizing mass–volume relationships and allowing comparable measurements across different conditions.
-
Can this converter be used for fluids other than gasoline?
-
No, this conversion specifically uses gasoline's density at 15.5°C as a reference, so applying it to other fluids may result in inaccurate values.
-
What applications benefit from converting kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) to ounce (UK)/hour?
-
Applications include custody transfer, fuel consumption testing, chemical dosing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and precise micro-dosing scenarios requiring accurate small mass flow rates.
Key Terminology
-
Kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A measure of mass flow rate of gasoline per minute, standardized to the gasoline's density at 15.5°C to ensure consistent comparisons.
-
Ounce (UK)/hour [oz (UK)/h]
-
A measure of mass flow rate indicating how many UK avoirdupois ounces pass per hour, used for expressing very low mass flow rates.
-
Mass Flow Rate
-
The amount of mass passing through a given point per unit time, often used in fluid transport and processing.
