What Is This Tool?
This tool converts flow measurements from milliliter per hour, a volumetric rate often used for precise low-flow applications, to kilogram per day for gasoline at 15.5°C, a mass flow rate adjusted to a standard temperature for consistent fuel measurement.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate value in milliliter per hour (mL/h)
-
Select the target unit as kilogram per day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
Click convert to view the equivalent mass flow rate
-
Use the result for inventory, billing, or process calculations involving gasoline
-
Repeat the steps for different values or unit conversions as needed
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow (mL/h) to temperature-corrected mass flow (kg/day) for gasoline
-
Based on standard gasoline density at 15.5°C for accurate petroleum industry use
-
Provides easy-to-understand examples for practical applications
-
Supports needs of custody transfer, inventory management, and refinery reporting
-
Browser-based and user-friendly interface for quick conversions
Examples
-
Converting 10 mL/h gives 0.177438974 kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
Converting 100 mL/h results in 1.77438974 kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
Common Use Cases
-
Setting infusion pump rates or precise fluid delivery at low volumes
-
Fuel custody transfer and invoicing based on mass flow standardized to 15.5°C
-
Managing fuel inventories and comparing throughput at depots and refineries
-
Calculating emissions and fuel consumption in refining and distribution
-
Environmental monitoring involving gasoline flow and tracer injection
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure flow measurements are stable and equipment is properly calibrated
-
Use the conversion specifically for gasoline considering density at 15.5°C
-
Account for temperature and composition variations that might affect accuracy
-
Apply conversions in contexts requiring temperature-corrected mass flow data
-
Reference standard conditions for custody transfer and inventory reconciliation
Limitations
-
Assumes gasoline density is standardized at 15.5°C; variations may reduce accuracy
-
Primarily suited to gasoline; other fluids need different correction factors
-
Requires stable flow conditions and calibrated equipment for reliable results
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the temperature of 15.5°C important in this conversion?
-
The temperature 15.5°C is used as a standard reference for gasoline density to enable consistent mass–volume conversions and accurate fuel measurement across varying conditions.
-
Can this conversion be used for fluids other than gasoline?
-
No, this conversion specifically applies to gasoline measured at 15.5°C; other liquids require different density correction factors.
-
What applications commonly use this milliliter/hour to kilogram/day conversion?
-
It is commonly used in custody transfer, fuel inventory management, refinery reporting, pipeline deliveries, and environmental monitoring related to gasoline.
Key Terminology
-
Milliliter per hour [mL/h]
-
A volumetric flow rate unit indicating one milliliter of fluid delivered or transported constantly every hour.
-
Kilogram per day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate specifying the mass of gasoline passing a point in one day, standardized for gasoline density at 15.5°C.
-
Custody Transfer
-
The process of transferring fuel ownership where quantities are measured and reported on a mass basis using temperature-corrected data.
