Why is the temperature of 15.5°C important in this conversion?

15.5°C is a standard reference temperature used in the petroleum industry to correct gasoline volume and density for consistent mass flow measurements.

Can this tool be used for fuels other than gasoline?

No, this conversion specifically uses gasoline density at 15.5°C and may not provide accurate results for other fuels.

What does liter per hour measure compared to pound per minute?

Liter per hour measures volumetric flow rate of liquid, while pound per minute measures mass flow rate accounting for fuel density at a standard temperature.

What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to change fuel flow from liter per hour to pound per minute for gasoline measured at a reference temperature of 15.5°C, helping ensure volume-based flow is accurately translated into standardized mass flow.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow value in liter per hour (L/h) into the input field.
Select or confirm the units as liter/hour to pound/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
Click convert to see the equivalent mass flow in pound per minute considering gasoline at standard reference temperature.

Key Features

Converts volumetric flow (liter/hour) to mass flow (pound/minute) specifically for gasoline at 15.5°C.
Accounts for gasoline density corrections at a standard temperature commonly used in petroleum industry measurements.
Supports accurate custody transfer and refinery process controls by delivering mass flow readings from volumetric inputs.

Examples

10 L/h is converted to approximately 0.2717 pound/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
50 L/h translates to about 1.3583 pound/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C).

Common Use Cases

Fuel consumption calculations for small engines and portable generators.
Ensuring consistent measurement during gasoline custody transfer and fuel invoicing processes.
Refinery and terminal operations involving metering, loading, and unloading gasoline shipments.
Engineering tasks such as pipeline design, pump selection, and emission evaluations with temperature-corrected fuel flows.

Tips & Best Practices

Verify the temperature assumption matches your fuel's actual conditions for best accuracy.
Use this converter primarily for gasoline due to specific density corrections at 15.5°C.
Ensure flow measurements are precise and temperature corrections are applied when possible.
Review your converted values against known standards especially for custody and billing applications.

Limitations

Conversion is based on gasoline density at 15.5°C and may not be accurate for other temperatures or fuel types.
Accuracy depends on stable temperature conditions and consistent flow measurement methods.
Not suitable for fuels other than gasoline without additional density adjustments.
