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

15.5°C is a standard reference temperature for liquid fuels to account for density changes caused by temperature variations.

Can I use this converter for fluids other than gasoline?

No, this converter specifically applies to gasoline measured at 15.5°C because of its unique density characteristics.

How do temperature changes affect this conversion?

Since gasoline density varies with temperature, conversions are only accurate when gasoline is at or adjusted to 15.5°C.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms flow measurements expressed in liters per minute (L/min) into mass flow rates in kilograms per second (kg/s) for gasoline at a 15.5°C reference temperature. It helps translate volume-based flow data into mass-based metrics necessary for precise fuel management.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow value in liters per minute (L/min).
Select the input unit as liter/minute [L/min].
Choose the output unit as kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
Click convert to receive the corresponding mass flow rate.
Use the converted value for fuel flow analysis or process control.

Key Features

Converts volumetric flow (L/min) to mass flow (kg/s) specifically for gasoline at 15.5°C.
Uses a defined conversion factor reflecting gasoline density at the standard reference temperature.
Supports applications in fuel metering, combustion control, and flow instrumentation calibration.
Browser-based and easy to use without installation.

Examples

10 L/min equals 0.123221509 kg/s of gasoline at 15.5°C.
50 L/min equals 0.616107545 kg/s of gasoline at 15.5°C.

Common Use Cases

Determining fuel mass flow rates for engine and turbine combustion performance.
Custody transfer and billing at fuel terminals referencing mass flow at 15.5°C.
Calibrating flow meters and control systems in refineries and pipelines.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure volumetric measurements are accurate and instruments are properly calibrated.
Use this conversion only when gasoline density corresponds to 15.5°C reference temperature.
Avoid conversions if gasoline composition varies significantly or phase changes occur.
Verify flow rates with consideration to temperature effects for precision.

Limitations

Accurate only when gasoline density corresponds to 15.5°C; variations affect results.
Assumes consistent gasoline composition without phase transitions.
Measurement precision depends on volumetric flow instrument accuracy.
