What Is This Tool?
This converter changes flow rate measurements from kilogram per second for gasoline at 15.5°C, a mass-based flow rate unit with standardized density reference, into cubic centimeters per day, a volumetric flow unit for very small continuous flows.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in kilogram/second (gasoline at 15.5°C) you wish to convert

-
2 kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C) equals 233,725,427.8 cubic centimeter/day
Common Use Cases
-
Fuel mass flow specification for engines and turbines in combustion optimization
-
Custody transfer, billing, and metering of gasoline at terminals or dispensers
-
Calibration of flow meters and process-control systems in petroleum refineries
-
Reporting slow infusion rates or dosing in clinical settings
-
Monitoring leakage or permeation rates through containers and seals
-
Measuring small-scale laboratory or microfluidic volumetric flows over extended periods
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure gasoline density corresponds to 15.5°C for accurate conversion results
-
Use this conversion primarily for stable flow conditions and small volumetric rates
-
Verify measurement unit consistency when integrating with other flow data
-
Keep track of temperature variations to maintain accuracy in mass-to-volume conversions
Limitations
-
Conversion presumes fuel density at 15.5°C; deviations affect accuracy
-
Volumetric unit cubic centimeter/day suits very small flows, less ideal for high or rapidly changing rates
-
Accurate results depend on precise density data and stable reference temperature conditions
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is gasoline density referenced at 15.5°C for this conversion?
-
Using gasoline density at 15.5°C standardizes the mass flow rate by accounting for temperature-dependent density changes common in liquid fuels.
-
Can this tool convert flow rates for fuels at temperatures other than 15.5°C?
-
No. The conversion relies on density data at 15.5°C; varying temperatures or compositions may require different calculations.
-
What applications use the cubic centimeter per day unit in flow measurements?
-
Cubic centimeter per day is used in clinical dosing, leakage monitoring, and small-scale laboratory flows where volume flow over days is relevant.
Key Terminology
-
Kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate unit indicating how many kilograms of gasoline pass a point each second, standardized by gasoline density at 15.5 °C.
-
Cubic centimeter/day
-
A volumetric flow unit representing one cubic centimeter of volume transferred per 24-hour period, suited for very small flow rates.
