Why is the temperature 15.5°C important in this conversion?

The temperature 15.5°C is used as a reference to account for gasoline’s temperature-dependent density, ensuring the mass flow is accurately represented despite volumetric changes.

Can this conversion be used for other liquids besides gasoline?

No, this specific conversion factor is tailored for gasoline conditioned at 15.5°C and may not be accurate for other liquids or temperatures.

What should I verify before converting ounces per minute?

You should confirm if the ounce unit refers to a mass (avoirdupois) or a volumetric measure, since this distinction affects conversion.
