What Is This Tool?

This tool converts flow measurements from liter per second, a unit of volumetric flow rate, into pound per minute for gasoline at a standardized temperature of 15.5°C. It helps translate volume flow into mass flow considering temperature corrections used in petroleum industries.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow value in liters per second into the input field.
Select liter/second as the input unit and pound/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) as the output unit.
Click the convert button to see the equivalent mass flow rate.
Review the results which reflect mass flow corrected to the standard temperature for gasoline.

Key Features

Converts volumetric flow rate (L/s) to mass flow rate (Pound/min) specifically for gasoline at 15.5°C.
Based on a standard reference temperature to ensure consistent and accurate petroleum product measurement.
Supports applications in custody transfer, refinery metering, and engineering calculations.
Displays conversion using a fixed rate: 1 L/s equals approximately 97.7965 pounds per minute.

Examples

Convert 0.5 L/s: 0.5 × 97.7965 = approximately 48.8982 pounds per minute.
Convert 2 L/s: 2 × 97.7965 = approximately 195.593 pounds per minute.

Common Use Cases

Custody transfer and invoicing of gasoline shipments ensuring volume-to-mass conversion at 15.5°C.
Metering and loading/unloading operations in refineries and gasoline terminals for consistent measurement.
Engineering tasks like pipeline sizing, pump selection, and emissions or fuel consumption calculation using temperature-referenced mass flow.

Tips & Best Practices

Always use the standardized 15.5°C reference temperature when converting to maintain accuracy.
Confirm your gasoline sample matches the density conditions assumed by this conversion to avoid errors.
Double-check input values and units before conversion for reliable results.

Limitations

Conversion applies only to gasoline at 15.5°C and may not be accurate for other fuels or temperatures.
Variations in gasoline composition and temperature deviations can affect the resulting mass flow value.
This tool does not account for changes in density due to temperature shifts other than the standard.
