What Is This Tool?
This tool converts flow rates measured in milliliters per hour (mL/h) into kilograms per hour (kg/h) for gasoline at a standard temperature of 15.5°C. It translates precise volumetric flow, commonly used for slow fluid delivery, into mass flow rates standardized for gasoline density at the reference temperature.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate value in milliliter per hour (mL/h).
-
Select 'milliliter/hour [mL/h]' as your input unit.
-
Choose 'kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C)' as the output unit.
-
Click convert to see the corresponding mass flow in kilograms per hour.
-
Use the conversion results for fuel measurement, billing, or calibration purposes.
Key Features
-
Converts precise low volumetric flow rates (mL/h) into mass flow rates (kg/h) specific to gasoline.
-
Accounts for gasoline density at the reference temperature of 15.5°C for accurate conversions.
-
Provides standardized mass flow outputs useful in fuel consumption and billing.
-
Browser-based and straightforward to use with clear input and output units.
-
Supports applications in fuel metering, custody transfer, and performance testing.
Examples
-
1000 mL/h is equivalent to 0.7393291 kg/h (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
-
500 mL/h converts to 0.36966455 kg/h (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
Common Use Cases
-
Setting infusion and dosing pump rates requiring precise low flow delivery.
-
Custody transfer and billing for gasoline at fuel terminals using mass flow.
-
Reporting and analyzing engine fuel consumption standardized at 15.5°C.
-
Calibrating flow meters and dispensers with density-corrected mass values.
-
Controlling reagent addition in laboratory and industrial processes.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure temperature conditions match the 15.5°C reference for density accuracy.
-
Use precise flow measurement instruments for low rate conversions.
-
Verify units carefully before converting to avoid confusion.
-
Use this tool for gasoline only; other fluids require their own density data.
-
Apply the results for standardized fuel performance and billing calculations.
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes gasoline density at exactly 15.5°C; variations affect accuracy.
-
Not applicable for fluids other than gasoline without adjusting for density.
-
Precise instrumentation needed due to small flow rates involved.
-
Temperature deviations require additional density correction outside this tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the temperature 15.5°C important for this conversion?
-
The 15.5°C temperature standardizes gasoline density, ensuring accurate mass flow calculation from volume measurements.
-
Can I use this converter for fluids other than gasoline?
-
No, this conversion is specific to gasoline density at 15.5°C and should not be used for other fluids without their own density data.
-
How do I convert from kilogram/hour back to milliliter/hour?
-
You would need to use the inverse of the given conversion rate accounting for gasoline density at 15.5°C, but this tool focuses on converting from mL/h to kg/h.
Key Terminology
-
Milliliter/hour (mL/h)
-
A unit measuring the volumetric flow rate representing one milliliter of fluid moving or dispensed each hour.
-
Kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate unit indicating kilograms of gasoline per hour, using gasoline density at 15.5°C for conversion.
-
Density
-
The mass per unit volume of a substance, used here to relate volume flow to mass flow based on gasoline at 15.5°C.
