What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms flow rate values from milliliter per day, a small volumetric unit, into kilogram per day for gasoline at 15.5°C, reflecting mass flow standardized to a reference temperature used in petroleum measurements.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate value in milliliters per day (mL/d)
-
Select the output unit as kilogram per day for gasoline at 15.5°C
-
Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent mass flow
-
Use the result for petroleum custody, inventory, or fuel consumption calculations
Key Features
-
Converts very low volumetric flow rates in milliliters per day to mass flow rates in kilograms per day for gasoline at 15.5°C
-
Utilizes a standardized reference temperature of 15.5°C for correct mass–volume relations in gasoline
-
Supports petroleum industry applications such as custody transfer, inventory management, and emissions monitoring
-
Simple and clear formula-based calculation for accurate results
Examples
-
1000 mL/d converts to 0.7393291 kg/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
500 mL/d converts to 0.36966455 kg/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
Common Use Cases
-
Custody transfer and billing for gasoline shipments measured by mass at 15.5°C
-
Inventory tracking and balance reporting at fuel depots and refineries
-
Calculating fuel consumption, emissions, and process mass balances with temperature correction
-
Monitoring very low continuous flow rates in clinical or environmental settings adapted to gasoline mass measurement
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure flow rates are appropriate for milliliter/day units due to their small scale
-
Use this conversion when gasoline measurements need correction to 15.5°C for consistency
-
Verify gasoline density assumptions match the reference temperature to maintain accuracy
-
Apply this tool specifically within petroleum industry contexts for reliable mass flow calculations
Limitations
-
Accuracy depends on gasoline density at the standard reference temperature of 15.5°C
-
Variations in temperature or gasoline composition can influence conversion precision
-
Milliliter/day units are suitable only for very low flow rates; larger volumes may require other units
-
This converter does not account for temperature deviations beyond the 15.5°C standard
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is gasoline density referenced at 15.5°C for this conversion?
-
The gasoline density is standardized at 15.5°C to ensure consistency in mass–volume conversions used for custody transfer and inventory in the petroleum industry.
-
Can this tool be used for measuring high flow rates?
-
No, milliliter per day units are intended for very low flow rates; for larger flows, other units and conversion methods are recommended.
-
What does the conversion rate 1 mL/d = 0.0007393291 kg/day represent?
-
It shows the mass flow in kilograms per day of gasoline at 15.5°C equivalent to a volumetric flow of one milliliter per day.
Key Terminology
-
Milliliter/day [mL/d]
-
A volumetric flow rate unit representing one milliliter of fluid passing per day, used for very low flow rates.
-
Kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate unit indicating the kilograms of gasoline passing per day, with density normalized at 15.5°C for accuracy.
-
Custody Transfer
-
The process of transferring ownership of petroleum products, requiring precise mass or volume measurement for billing.
