Why is the reference temperature 15.5°C used for gasoline conversion?

The 15.5°C reference standardizes gasoline density to ensure consistent mass flow calculations despite temperature-related volume changes.

Can I use this conversion for fluids other than gasoline?

No, this conversion applies only to gasoline at 15.5°C; other fluids require different conversions accounting for their own densities and temperatures.

What applications benefit most from converting L/d to pound/second for gasoline?

Industries such as petroleum custody transfer, engine testing, and fuel pump design benefit from precise mass flow rate conversions.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms flow rate values from liter per day, a volumetric measurement used for low-to-moderate flow applications, into pound per second, a mass flow rate specifically for gasoline at a reference temperature of 15.5°C. It aids in converting daily volume flow into instantaneous mass flow important in fuel management.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the value in liters per day that you wish to convert.
Select the unit 'liter/day [L/d]' as the input measurement.
Choose 'pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C)' as the output unit.
Click convert to instantly view the equivalent mass flow rate.

Key Features

Converts volumetric flow from liter/day to mass flow in pound/second for gasoline at 15.5°C.
Includes relevant industry-specific conversion suited for automotive and petroleum fuel measurements.
Browser-based and easy to use for quick and accurate flow rate translation.
Supports precise mass flow determination for billing, engine testing, and fuel pump sizing.

Examples

10 liter/day equals 0.000188651 pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
100 liter/day converts to 0.00188651 pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C).

Common Use Cases

Converting daily gasoline volumes into mass flow rates for accurate fuel billing and inventory control.
Measuring fuel consumption rates during engine testing with precise mass flow rather than volume.
Designing and specifying fuel pumps and delivery systems where mass consistency is critical.

Tips & Best Practices

Always confirm that the gasoline density corresponds to the reference temperature of 15.5°C before converting.
Use this tool specifically for gasoline; apply different conversions for other fluids considering their density and temperature.
Utilize the converter for low volumetric flow rates where the conversion factor is most effective.

Limitations

The conversion is based on gasoline density at 15.5°C; temperature or fuel composition changes may reduce accuracy.
Not applicable to fluids other than gasoline without adjustments for their unique properties.
Primarily suitable for low volumetric flow ranges given the small conversion multiplier.
