Why is the temperature 15.5°C specified for gasoline?

Gasoline density varies with temperature, so using 15.5°C as a reference ensures consistent and accurate mass flow measurements.

Can this converter be used for fluids other than gasoline?

No. This conversion factor is specific to gasoline at 15.5°C and may not be accurate for other fluids without adjusting for their densities and temperatures.

What applications benefit from converting mL/h to pound/second for gasoline?

It is useful in custody transfer, pipeline monitoring, engine testing, and fuel system design, where mass flow measurements are preferred over volumetric flow.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms flow measurements from milliliters per hour (mL/h), a volumetric rate for very slow flows, into pounds per second, representing mass flow of gasoline at a standardized temperature of 15.5°C.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow rate value in milliliters per hour you wish to convert
Select milliliter/hour [mL/h] as the starting unit and pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C) as the target unit
Click convert to obtain the equivalent mass flow rate in pounds per second

Key Features

Converts low volumetric flow rates (mL/h) to mass flow rates (pound/second) for gasoline at 15.5°C
Uses a fixed conversion factor linked to temperature-conditioned gasoline density
Suitable for applications in medical dosing, laboratory controls, and petroleum engineering

Examples

1000 mL/h is approximately 0.00045276 pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
500 mL/h equals about 0.00022638 pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C)

Common Use Cases

Setting infusion pumps for precise fluid delivery in clinical and laboratory environments
Converting fuel flow measurements for custody transfer and pipeline monitoring at standard temperature
Evaluating fuel consumption in engine testing by measuring mass flow to avoid volume changes due to temperature

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure gasoline is conditioned to 15.5°C to maintain conversion accuracy
Use precise flow measurement devices when handling very low volumetric rates
Apply this conversion only for gasoline; different fluids require specific density and temperature considerations

Limitations

Conversion accuracy depends on gasoline being at the referenced 15.5°C temperature
Not applicable for fluids other than gasoline without adjustment for density and temperature
Very low flow rates need accurate instruments to ensure valid mass flow calculations
