Examples
-
10 oz/h equals 0.48203125 lb/h (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
50 oz/h is converted to 2.41015625 lb/h (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
Common Use Cases
-
Volumetric dispensing of beverages or syrups in equipment (fluid oz/h)
-
Low-rate liquid dosing in labs and chemical systems (fluid oz/h)
-
Measuring small feed rates for oils, fuels, or powders (mass oz/h)
-
Custody transfer and metering of gasoline pipelines and terminals
-
Fuel consumption measurement in engines and industrial burners
-
Calibration of flow meters and fuel delivery systems with temperature correction
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure ounce values represent mass ounces when converting to mass flow
-
Use the conversion specifically for gasoline at 15.5°C to maintain accuracy
-
Check that temperature corrections apply when handling different substances
-
Verify flow meter calibrations match temperature-referenced standards
-
Apply volume to mass conversions carefully, respecting unit context
Limitations
-
Conversion only valid for gasoline referenced at 15.5°C
-
Density and temperature variations for other substances require adjustments
-
Ounce/hour unit may represent mass or volume, so correct interpretation is necessary
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the temperature 15.5°C specified for gasoline flow conversion?
-
The 15.5°C reference standardizes gasoline density to correct flows for temperature effects, ensuring accurate mass-based custody and engineering calculations.
-
Can I use fluid ounces in this converter for mass flow?
-
Since fluid ounces measure volume, converting to mass-based pound/hour flow rates requires careful use of mass ounces to maintain accuracy.
-
What industries benefit from converting oz/h to lb/h for gasoline?
-
Petroleum, fuel delivery, and industrial sectors use this conversion for custody transfer, fuel consumption reporting, and flow meter calibration.
Key Terminology
-
Ounce/hour (oz/h)
-
A flow rate unit expressing how many ounces of a substance are delivered or transferred each hour; may represent mass or volume ounces.
-
Pound/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
Mass flow rate unit indicating pounds of gasoline passing a point per hour, standardized at 15.5°C to ensure consistent density and temperature corrections.
-
Custody Transfer
-
The process of transferring product ownership from one party to another, requiring precise flow measurements typically corrected for temperature and density.
