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

The 15.5°C reference temperature is used because gasoline density varies with temperature, so using a standard temperature ensures consistent and accurate mass flow calculations.

Can I use this converter for fluids other than gasoline?

This conversion applies only to gasoline or similar fuels with densities close to the reference at 15.5°C; it is not accurate for other types of fluids.

What should I do if my gasoline temperature is different from 15.5°C?

If the gasoline temperature differs from 15.5°C, adjust the density value accordingly before using this converter for accurate mass flow results.

What Is This Tool?

This converter changes volumetric flow rates measured in liters per second into mass flow rates in kilograms per second, specifically for gasoline measured at the reference temperature of 15.5°C. It helps users translate fluid volume flow into mass flow for applications requiring precise fuel management and process control.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow value in liters per second (L/s) you want to convert.
Select the units: from liter/second to kilogram/second (gasoline at 15.5°C).
Submit or calculate to get the equivalent mass flow in kilogram/second.

Key Features

Converts liter/second (L/s) volumetric flow rates to kilogram/second mass flow rates for gasoline at 15.5°C.
Uses standard reference temperature of 15.5°C to account for gasoline density variations.
Supports applications in engine fuel control, custody transfer, and flow meter calibration.

Examples

Convert 5 L/s to mass flow: 5 × 0.7393290564 = 3.696645282 kg/s (gasoline at 15.5°C).
Convert 10 L/s to mass flow: 10 × 0.7393290564 = 7.393290564 kg/s (gasoline at 15.5°C).

Common Use Cases

Measuring water flow rates in plumbing and HVAC systems expressed in liters per second.
Controlling fuel mass flow to engines or turbines using gasoline density at 15.5°C for combustion optimization.
Performing custody transfer and billing at fuel terminals requiring mass flow at a reference temperature.
Calibrating flow meters in refineries or pipelines that convert between volumetric and mass flow rates.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure gasoline density corresponds to the reference temperature of 15.5°C when applying the conversion.
Double-check volumetric input measurements for accuracy to improve mass flow calculation precision.
Use conversion results for gasoline or similar fuels with densities close to that at 15.5°C to avoid errors.

Limitations

Conversion assumes gasoline density at exactly 15.5°C; temperature differences require density correction.
Applicable only for gasoline or fuels with similar density at the reference temperature; not suitable for other fluids.
Accuracy depends on the precision of volumetric flow measurements used as input.
