Why is 15.5°C used as a reference temperature for gasoline?

The 15.5°C reference ensures standardized density measurements, accounting for thermal expansion and allowing consistent mass-volume conversions.

Can I use this conversion for fuels other than gasoline?

No, this conversion is specific to gasoline at 15.5°C and is not applicable to other fuels without appropriate adjustments.

What should I do if the gasoline temperature differs from 15.5°C?

You should apply corrections for temperature or use density adjustments since the conversion assumes gasoline at the 15.5°C reference.

Examples

Convert 2 L/s: 2 × 44.3597433936 = 88.7194867872 kg/min (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
Convert 0.5 L/s: 0.5 × 44.3597433936 = 22.1798716968 kg/min (Gasoline at 15.5°C)

Common Use Cases

Fuel custody transfer and accurate invoicing in gasoline pipelines and terminals
Calibration and verification of fuel flowmeters with standardized density corrections
Vehicle and engine fuel-consumption testing using a consistent reference temperature

Tips & Best Practices

Always ensure temperature is standardized at 15.5°C for consistent results
Use this conversion specifically for gasoline; avoid applying it to other fuels without adjustments
Apply correction factors if working with gasoline at temperatures differing from 15.5°C
Double-check unit selections before performing conversions

Limitations

Conversion assumes constant gasoline density at 15.5°C, which may not reflect real-time variations
Not suitable for other fuels or fluids without modification
Temperature or fuel composition changes can affect accuracy and need consideration
