Why is the conversion specific to gasoline at 15.5°C?

Because gasoline density varies with temperature, specifying 15.5°C provides a standard reference to ensure accurate mass flow calculations.

Can this converter be used for other liquids?

No, this conversion is specifically calibrated for gasoline at 15.5°C and does not apply to other fluids.

Is this tool suitable for measuring large industrial flow rates?

This tool is intended for small, controlled flow rates; larger bulk flow requires additional considerations beyond this conversion.
