What Is This Tool?
This unit converter allows you to transform flow measurements expressed in ounce (UK) per hour into kilogram per day for gasoline at 15.5°C, facilitating precise and standardized mass flow calculations essential for various specialized industries.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Input the value to convert in ounce (UK) per hour.
-
Select kilogram per day (Gasoline at 15.5°C) as the target unit.
-
Click convert to obtain the equivalent mass flow rate in the desired unit.
Key Features
-
Converts low-rate mass throughput from ounce (UK)/hour to kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
-
Supports applications requiring temperature-corrected mass flow rates in petroleum and chemical industries.
-
Provides accurate translation of very small flow rates into standardized petroleum measurement units.
Examples
-
2 oz (UK)/h converts to 1.0083169916 kg/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
-
5 oz (UK)/h converts to 2.520792479 kg/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
Common Use Cases
-
Low-rate dosing of chemicals and reagents in laboratories using precision pumps.
-
Calibration of metering or drip-feed devices in pharmaceuticals and specialty manufacturing.
-
Custody transfer, invoicing, and inventory reconciliation of gasoline at fuel depots and refineries.
-
Calculating fuel consumption and emissions in refining and petroleum distribution processes.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure gasoline density references are standardized at 15.5°C for consistent results.
-
Use this conversion to integrate small flow rate measurements into larger petroleum mass balance calculations.
-
Maintain consistent reference conditions to avoid discrepancies in regulatory reporting or custody transfer.
Limitations
-
Assumes gasoline density is standardized at 15.5°C; temperature or composition changes affect accuracy.
-
Most suitable for converting very low flow rates; interpretation should consider system scaling.
-
Consistency in temperature reference is critical to prevent errors in custody and reporting.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why use kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C) as a unit?
-
It standardizes gasoline mass flow measurements at a reference temperature of 15.5°C, ensuring accuracy for custody transfer and inventory management.
-
What is an ounce (UK)/hour used for?
-
It expresses very low mass flow rates, commonly used in laboratory dosing, pharmaceuticals, and micro-dosing applications.
-
Can this converter handle large-scale flow rates?
-
The converter is designed for very low flow rates; larger flows may require different measurement units or scaling considerations.
Key Terminology
-
Ounce (UK)/hour [oz (UK)/h]
-
A mass flow rate representing one UK avoirdupois ounce passing per hour, used for very low mass throughput measurements.
-
Kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
Mass flow rate specifying kilograms of gasoline per day, with gasoline density referenced to 15.5°C for standardized measurement.
-
Custody Transfer
-
The process of transferring ownership of petroleum products that requires standardized mass flow rates for accurate measurement and invoicing.
