What Is This Tool?
This conversion tool transforms the mass flow rate of gasoline measured in kilogram per minute at a reference temperature of 15.5°C into a volumetric flow rate expressed in ounce (UK) per second. It allows users to translate standardized gasoline flow measurements into smaller scale volume flow rates commonly used in dispensing and dosing applications.

Tips & Best Practices
-
Always confirm gasoline density references to maintain conversion accuracy.
-
Use this tool when translating mass flow measurements to volume flow rates for compatible system integration.
-
Consider the scale of flow rates to ensure the chosen units are appropriate.
-
Verify calibration of measuring equipment before using flow rate data in critical applications.
-
Remember the standard temperature reference of 15.5°C to avoid discrepancies from temperature variations.
Limitations
-
Conversion relies on gasoline density standardized at 15.5°C, so temperature or composition changes can affect results.
-
Accuracy depends on correct reference temperature and measurement precision.
-
Mass-based to volume-based conversions require knowledge of density and may not reflect real-time variations.
-
Flow scales differ by several magnitudes; ensure unit appropriateness for the application.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why use kilogram/minute at 15.5°C as a reference unit?
-
Using 15.5°C as a reference temperature standardizes density corrections for gasoline, enabling consistent comparisons and billing across different conditions.
-
Can this tool be used for other liquids besides gasoline?
-
This converter is specific to gasoline measured with density referenced at 15.5°C; using it for other liquids without appropriate adjustments may cause inaccuracies.
-
What applications benefit from converting to ounce (UK)/second?
-
Ounce (UK)/second is useful for specifying small flow rates in beverage dispensing, laboratory dosing, pharmaceutical compounding, and microfluidic engineering.
Key Terminology
-
Kilogram per minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate for gasoline referenced to density at 15.5°C to account for thermal expansion and ensure measurement consistency.
-
Ounce (UK)/second
-
A volumetric flow rate unit equal to the number of imperial fluid ounces passing a point per second, with one UK fluid ounce being 28.4130625 millilitres.
-
Reference Temperature
-
A standardized temperature used to correct density measurements and allow comparability between different flow measurements.
