What Is This Tool?
This tool converts volumetric flow rates measured in milliliters per hour (mL/h) to mass flow rates expressed in pounds per day for gasoline standardized at 15.5 °C. It supports precise flow translation essential for petroleum industry measurements and inventory management.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Input the flow rate in milliliters per hour you want to convert
-
Select the target unit as pound per day for gasoline at 15.5 °C
-
Click the convert button to get the equivalent mass flow rate
-
Use the result for inventory, measurement, or reporting purposes in petroleum applications
Key Features
-
Converts low volumetric flow rates (mL/h) into standardized mass flow rates (pound/day) for gasoline at 15.5 °C
-
Uses defined conversion rate accounting for temperature-dependent gasoline density
-
Suitable for custody transfer, refinery throughput, and emissions reporting
-
Browser-based and easy-to-use interface for quick calculations
-
Applicable to precise dosing and flow control scenarios in laboratory and industrial settings
Examples
-
10 mL/h converts to 0.391185975 pound/day (Gasoline at 15.5 °C)
-
50 mL/h converts to 1.955929875 pound/day (Gasoline at 15.5 °C)
Common Use Cases
-
Setting intravenous or enteral infusion pump rates for controlled fluid delivery (mL/h as input)
-
Measuring reagent addition rates in laboratory or microreactor setups
-
Calculating gasoline custody transfer quantities standardized at 15.5 °C
-
Performing refinery throughput and mass-balance calculations involving gasoline
-
Fuel consumption or emissions reporting requiring mass flow rates at reference temperature
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure flow rates provided are precise and consistent in mL/h for accurate conversion
-
Confirm gasoline temperature is standardized or close to 15.5 °C to maintain result relevance
-
Use the tool for low flow rates as designed, especially in laboratory or precise dosing environments
-
Consider variations in gasoline composition that might affect density if applicable
-
Apply results carefully within petroleum industry contexts such as custody transfer and emissions reporting
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes gasoline density referenced at exactly 15.5 °C
-
Variations in temperature or fuel composition can impact accuracy
-
Not suitable without adjustments for fluids other than gasoline or for different temperature conditions
-
Designed mainly for translating low volumetric flow rates to mass flow rates
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does milliliter per hour measure in this conversion?
-
It measures the volumetric flow rate, representing the number of milliliters of fluid transported or dispensed in one hour.
-
Why is gasoline temperature standardized at 15.5 °C in this conversion?
-
Standardizing at 15.5 °C allows consistent measurement and comparison by accounting for temperature-dependent gasoline density.
-
Can I use this conversion for fluids other than gasoline?
-
No, this conversion specifically applies to gasoline at 15.5 °C; other fluids and temperatures require different considerations.
Key Terminology
-
Milliliter/hour (mL/h)
-
A unit of volumetric flow representing one milliliter of fluid transported each hour, useful for precise low flow rates.
-
Pound/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate unit measuring the pounds of gasoline delivered or processed per day, standardized to 15.5 °C to account for density.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The volume of fluid passing through a point per unit time, such as milliliters per hour.
