What Is This Tool?
This converter allows users to change mass flow rates of gasoline measured in kilogram per second at a reference temperature of 15.5°C into volumetric flow rates expressed in hundred-cubic foot per minute, a unit commonly used for gases and ventilation.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the amount of gasoline flow in kilogram per second (gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
Select 'kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C)' as the starting unit

Examples
-
1 kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C) equals approximately 0.02866 hundred-cubic foot/minute
-
10 kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C) equals approximately 0.2866 hundred-cubic foot/minute
Common Use Cases
-
Controlling combustion and performance in engines and turbines using gasoline mass flow
-
Fuel custody transfer and billing where mass at a reference temperature is required
-
Calibration and testing of flow meters in pipelines and refineries
-
Sizing HVAC fans, blowers, and ventilation ducts for industrial environments

Tips & Best Practices
-
Always ensure the gasoline density corresponds to 15.5°C for accurate conversions
-
Use this tool when both mass and volumetric flow information is needed for process control
-
Verify if the volumetric unit of hundred-cubic foot per minute is applicable for your fluid state
-
Double-check converted values in critical applications involving fuel metering or billing
-
Be mindful of temperature variations that may affect flow measurement reliability
Limitations
-
Assumes gasoline density fixed at 15.5°C; deviations can affect accuracy
-
Conversion links a liquid fuel mass flow to a gas volumetric flow, so context is important
-
The volumetric flow unit is generally meant for gases and may not suit liquid-only systems
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the gasoline temperature referenced at 15.5°C?
-
Referencing gasoline density at 15.5°C standardizes measurements by accounting for temperature-dependent density changes common in liquid fuels.
-
Can this conversion be used for liquid volumetric flows?
-
The hundred-cubic foot per minute unit typically applies to gases, so caution is advised when interpreting this conversion for liquid volumes.
-
What industries benefit from this conversion?
-
Industries like fuel metering, refinery process control, HVAC design, industrial ventilation, and environmental monitoring use this conversion extensively.
Key Terminology
-
Kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A unit representing the mass flow rate of gasoline where density is referenced to 15.5°C to standardize measurements.
-
Hundred-cubic foot/minute
-
A volumetric flow unit equal to 100 cubic feet of fluid passing a point each minute, mainly used for gases.
