What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms flow rates of gasoline measured in kilograms per second at a standard reference temperature of 15.5 °C into volumetric flow rates in UK fluid ounces per minute. It helps convert mass-based units to imperial volume-based flow units, adjusting for gasoline density at the specified temperature.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value of gasoline mass flow in kilograms per second referenced at 15.5°C
-
Select 'kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C)' as the input unit
-
Choose 'ounce (UK)/minute' as the output unit for volumetric flow
-
Click convert to see the equivalent flow rate in UK fluid ounces per minute
Key Features
-
Converts mass flow rate (kg/s) of gasoline at 15.5°C to volumetric flow rate (UK oz/min)
-
Uses standard gasoline density referenced at 15.5 °C for accurate conversion
-
Ideal for fuel metering, engine fuel supply calculations, and flow meter calibration
-
Supports imperial units relevant for beverage dispensing, dosing pumps, and irrigation systems
-
Browser-based and easy to use with direct input and output
Examples
-
2 kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C) equals 5712.4893 ounce (UK)/minute
-
0.5 kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C) equals 1428.1223 ounce (UK)/minute
Common Use Cases
-
Controlling and calculating fuel flow into combustion engines or turbines
-
Performing custody transfer and billing at fuel terminals using standardized measures
-
Calibrating flow meters in refineries and pipelines
-
Measuring and specifying low-rate liquid dispensing in beverage and brewing equipment
-
Calibrating dosing pumps in laboratories requiring imperial volumetric units
-
Documenting flow rates for household or agricultural irrigation systems using imperial units
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure gasoline density corresponds to 15.5 °C to maintain conversion accuracy
-
Use this tool when requiring volumetric flow rates expressed in UK fluid ounces per minute
-
Double-check units selected before conversion to avoid errors
-
Apply conversions in contexts where both mass flow and volumetric measurements are necessary
-
Consider temperature effects on density if operating outside the reference 15.5 °C
Limitations
-
Only valid for gasoline with density referenced at 15.5 °C; other fluids or temperatures need adjustments
-
Accuracy depends on precise measurement of mass flow and the density at the reference temperature
-
Conversion bridges mass flow to volumetric flow; requires known density for correctness
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is gasoline density referenced to 15.5 °C important?
-
Gasoline density varies with temperature. Using the density at 15.5 °C, a standard reference, ensures consistent and comparable mass flow measurements and conversions.
-
Can this conversion be used for fluids other than gasoline?
-
No. This converter specifically applies to gasoline with density measured at 15.5 °C. Other fluids or temperatures require adjusted density values for accurate results.
-
What is the meaning of ounce (UK)/minute as a flow unit?
-
Ounce (UK)/minute represents a volumetric flow where one UK fluid ounce passes a point each minute, commonly used in contexts requiring imperial volume measurements.
Key Terminology
-
Kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate unit indicating how many kilograms of gasoline pass a point every second, with density referenced at 15.5 °C.
-
Ounce (UK)/minute
-
A volumetric flow unit showing the number of UK fluid ounces passing a point each minute.
-
Density reference temperature
-
The standard temperature (15.5 °C) used to measure gasoline density, enabling consistent flow conversions.
