Why is gasoline density referenced at 15.5°C in this conversion?

Because gasoline density varies with temperature, using 15.5°C as a reference standardizes the mass flow rate measurement for consistency.

Can this converter be used for fluids other than gasoline?

No, this tool is specific to gasoline at 15.5°C and does not apply to other fluids without adjusting for their specific densities.

What should I be aware of when converting very low flow rates?

Measurements at low volumetric flow rates might introduce uncertainties when converted to mass flow due to very small resulting values.
