What Is This Tool?
This tool helps you convert flow rates from ounce per hour (oz/h), which can represent mass or volume flow, into kilogram per second for gasoline measured at a reference temperature of 15.5°C. It is designed for accurate translation of traditional imperial units into SI mass flow units considering fuel density.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in ounce per hour [oz/h] into the input field
-
Select the conversion to kilogram per second (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
Click the convert button to obtain the result
-
View the output which reflects the mass flow of gasoline considering its density at 15.5°C
Key Features
-
Converts ounce per hour flow measurements to kilogram per second for gasoline at 15.5°C
-
Accounts for gasoline density variations at a standard reference temperature
-
Supports conversions for mass or volumetric ounce units
-
Provides clear conversion results suitable for engineering and fuel management
-
Browser-based and easy to use without software installation
Examples
-
10 oz/h converts to approximately 0.0000607349 kg/s
-
100 oz/h converts to approximately 0.0006073492 kg/s
Common Use Cases
-
Measuring fuel mass flow for engine or turbine combustion control
-
Custody transfer and billing at fuel terminals or dispenser systems
-
Calibrating and testing flow meters in refineries and pipelines
-
Converting volumetric flow measurements to mass flow in industrial applications
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure consistent definitions when using ounce/hour units, clarifying mass or fluid ounces
-
Use this conversion only when gasoline density at 15.5°C is relevant
-
Be aware that very low flow rates result in small values that may need precise instruments
-
Regularly verify measurement devices for accuracy in low flow rate conditions
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes gasoline density at exactly 15.5°C; temperature changes alter results
-
Ounce/hour can represent different unit types; incorrect assumptions affect accuracy
-
Low flow rates yield very small numerical values requiring sensitive measurement tools
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does oz/h refer to fluid or mass ounces?
-
Ounce per hour (oz/h) can refer to either fluid ounces or avoirdupois ounces (mass), so it’s important to confirm which unit is being used before converting.
-
Why is gasoline density at 15.5°C important?
-
Gasoline density varies with temperature; using 15.5°C as a standard reference ensures consistency in mass flow calculations for fuel measurement and control.
-
Can I use this conversion for other fuels besides gasoline?
-
This converter is specific for gasoline at 15.5°C, and applying it to other fuels without adjusting for their densities and temperatures may lead to inaccurate results.
Key Terminology
-
Ounce/hour [oz/h]
-
A flow rate unit expressing quantity per hour; can represent either mass (avoirdupois ounce) or volume (fluid ounce).
-
Kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate unit indicating kilograms of gasoline passing a point each second, with density referenced at 15.5°C.
-
Density at 15.5°C
-
The standard temperature at which gasoline density is measured to ensure consistent mass flow calculations.
