What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms flow measurements from kilogram per second for gasoline at 15.5°C to hundred-cubic foot per day, enabling users to interpret mass flow rates as volumetric flow rates for specific industrial and engineering purposes.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in kilogram per second for gasoline at 15.5°C you want to convert.
-
Select kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C) as the input unit if required.
-
Choose hundred-cubic foot/day as the output unit.
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent volumetric flow rate.
Key Features
-
Converts mass flow rate of gasoline at a standard reference temperature (15.5°C) to volumetric flow rate in hundred-cubic foot per day.
-
Supports applications in fuel supply chain management, refinery operations, and natural gas reporting.
-
Facilitates custody transfer and metering by providing clear unit conversion for engineering analysis.
Examples
-
2 Kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C) converts to approximately 82.54 Hundred-cubic foot/day.
-
0.5 Kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C) converts to about 20.63 Hundred-cubic foot/day.
Common Use Cases
-
Determining fuel mass flow for combustion control and engine performance using gasoline density at 15.5 °C.
-
Custody transfer, metering, and billing in fuel terminals and dispenser systems where mass at a reference temperature is essential.
-
Calibration and testing of flow meters and process control in refineries or pipelines converting between volumetric and mass flow units.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure gasoline density corresponds to the 15.5°C reference to maintain conversion accuracy.
-
Use this converter for general engineering and operational analysis rather than detailed thermodynamic calculations.
-
Consider temperature and pressure effects on flow rates in advanced engineering scenarios beyond this tool's scope.
Limitations
-
Conversion accuracy depends on gasoline density being referenced at 15.5 °C and may not hold for different temperatures or fuel compositions.
-
Volumetric flow can vary with temperature and pressure changes, which this conversion does not account for.
-
Not suitable for detailed process simulations where precise temperature and pressure corrections are needed.
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 measurement to a common reference temperature since density varies with temperature.
-
Can I use this tool for fluids other than gasoline?
-
This conversion specifically applies to gasoline at 15.5°C and may not be accurate for other fluids or gasoline at different temperatures.
-
What does hundred-cubic foot/day measure?
-
It is a volumetric flow rate unit equal to 100 cubic feet of fluid passing a point in one day, suitable for small continuous flow measurements.
Key Terminology
-
Kilogram per second (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate unit indicating how many kilograms of gasoline flow each second, referenced to gasoline density at 15.5°C.
-
Hundred-cubic foot per day
-
A volumetric flow rate describing 100 cubic feet of fluid passing a point in one day, used for measuring small continuous flows.
-
Custody transfer
-
The process of transferring responsibility and measurement of fuel quantities between parties, often requiring precise flow measurement.
