What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to change flow rates from kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C), a mass flow unit standardized by gasoline density at 15.5°C, into ounce (UK)/minute, a volumetric flow rate expressed in imperial fluid ounces per minute. It supports applications needing conversion between mass and volume units while considering reference temperature standards.

Examples
-
Convert 2 kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) to ounce (UK)/minute: 2 × 47.6040772824 = 95.2081545648 ounce (UK)/minute
-
Convert 0.5 kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) to ounce (UK)/minute: 0.5 × 47.6040772824 = 23.8020386412 ounce (UK)/minute
Common Use Cases
-
Custody transfer and invoicing for gasoline in terminals to ensure consistent billing using standardized mass flow
-
Calibration and verification of fuel flowmeters and tanker loading/unloading processes with temperature corrections
-
Fuel-consumption testing in engines and vehicles expressed on a common reference temperature
-
Specifying low liquid dispensing rates and calibrating dosing pumps in industrial or laboratory settings using imperial units
-
Documenting and comparing flow rates for household appliances or irrigation systems requiring imperial volume measurements
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use the standardized 15.5°C reference temperature to ensure meaningful and comparable results
-
Confirm that the fluid being measured is gasoline or similar with matching properties for accuracy
-
Apply the conversion only when imperial volumetric units are necessary or required by regulation
-
Verify calibration of instruments when switching between mass and volume flow rate units
-
Consult specific fluid density data if temperature conditions differ from the reference
Limitations
-
Conversion relies on gasoline density at the 15.5°C standard reference; deviations impact accuracy
-
Mass-based unit converted to a volume-based unit requiring precise density knowledge
-
Mainly applicable to gasoline and not suitable for other fluids or temperatures without adjustment
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the temperature 15.5°C important in this conversion?
-
The temperature 15.5°C is used as a standardized reference to account for gasoline density changes due to thermal expansion, ensuring consistent mass–volume conversions and comparability across conditions.
-
Can this converter be used for fluids other than gasoline?
-
This conversion is primarily designed for gasoline and may not provide accurate results for other fluids or at different temperatures since density and flow characteristics vary.
-
What does ounce (UK)/minute measure?
-
Ounce (UK)/minute is a volumetric flow unit equal to the passage of one UK fluid ounce every minute, commonly used in contexts requiring imperial volume measurements.
Key Terminology
-
Kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
Mass flow rate of gasoline measured per minute with density referenced at 15.5°C to maintain standardization.
-
Ounce (UK)/minute
-
Volumetric flow unit representing one UK fluid ounce passing a point per minute, used in imperial measurement contexts.
-
Reference Temperature
-
A standard temperature (15.5°C) used to normalize gasoline density for consistent measurement and conversion.
