What Is This Tool?
This tool converts a flow rate given in kilogram per second for gasoline at 15.5°C to its equivalent volume flow rate expressed as cubic meters per day. It helps translate mass flow values of gasoline, referenced at a standard temperature, into daily volumetric measurements.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in kilogram/second for gasoline at 15.5°C.
-
Select the target unit as cubic meter/day [m³/d].
-
Click convert to obtain the volume flow equivalent in cubic meters per day.
Key Features
-
Converts mass flow rate of gasoline at 15.5°C to daily volumetric flow.
-
Supports fuel management, refinery calibration, and volumetric reporting.
-
Browser-based and simple to use with quick input and output display.
Examples
-
2 kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C) equals 233.7254278 cubic meter/day.
-
0.5 kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C) equals 58.43135695 cubic meter/day.
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying fuel mass flow rates to engines and turbines for combustion control.
-
Fuel custody transfer, metering, and billing at terminals with standard temperature references.
-
Monitoring hydrocarbon field production volumes expressed in daily units.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure temperature stability near 15.5°C to maintain conversion accuracy.
-
Use calibrated flow meters for precise mass and volumetric measurements.
-
Apply this conversion to reconcile mass flow with volumetric reporting requirements.
Limitations
-
Assumes gasoline density fixed at 15.5°C; deviations in temperature or composition affect accuracy.
-
Conversion accuracy relies on correct density values and stable measurement conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the gasoline temperature set at 15.5°C for this conversion?
-
15.5°C is a standard reference temperature for liquid fuels to account for temperature-dependent density variations.
-
Can this conversion be used for fuels other than gasoline?
-
This conversion specifically references gasoline properties at 15.5°C and may not be accurate for other fuels.
-
What does cubic meter/day represent?
-
It expresses the volume of fluid passing a point or produced over a 24-hour period, a common unit for daily volumetric flow.
Key Terminology
-
Kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow unit representing kilograms of gasoline passing a point each second, referenced to gasoline density at 15.5 °C.
-
Cubic meter/day [m³/d]
-
A volumetric flow rate equal to the volume of one cubic meter passing a point over a 24-hour period.
-
Density at 15.5°C
-
The standardized density measurement temperature used in fuel flow calculations to account for temperature effects on fluid volume.
