What Is This Tool?
This tool converts mass flow rates expressed in ounce (UK) per hour into kilogram per minute for gasoline at a reference temperature of 15.5°C. It enables accurate translation of small mass throughput rates into standardized gasoline mass flow, facilitating consistent measurement and reporting in fuel management.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the mass flow rate value in ounce (UK) per hour
-
Select the unit ounce (UK)/hour as the input
-
Choose kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) as the output unit
-
Press the convert button to obtain the equivalent mass flow rate
-
Use the results for fuel flowmeter calibration, fuel consumption testing, or custody transfer documentation
Key Features
-
Converts mass flow from ounce (UK)/hour to kilogram/minute for gasoline standardized at 15.5°C
-
Uses a fixed conversion factor based on defined unit relationships
-
Supports accurate translation of small dosing or metering rates to fuel flow rates
-
Provides standardized measurements referencing gasoline density at 15.5°C
-
Browser-based and easy to use for quick conversions
Examples
-
10 oz (UK)/h converts to 0.003501101 kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
50 oz (UK)/h converts to 0.017505505 kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
Common Use Cases
-
Low-rate dosing of reagents and chemicals with precision pumps in laboratories
-
Calibration and verification of fuel flowmeters for gasoline pipelines and terminals
-
Custody transfer and invoicing of gasoline using mass flow referenced to 15.5°C
-
Fuel consumption testing in engines and vehicles with standardized mass flow units
-
Formulation and micro-dosing in specialty manufacturing such as perfumery or flavoring
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure input values fall within the measurement precision limits of your instruments
-
Use calibrated devices to measure low mass flow rates for reliable conversion
-
Confirm that gasoline density corresponds to the 15.5°C reference temperature
-
Cross-check results when converting between units with different reference conditions
-
Apply the conversion tool in contexts where standardized mass flow reporting is required
Limitations
-
Assumes the gasoline density is standardized at 15.5°C; deviations may reduce accuracy
-
Low flow rates in oz (UK)/h may challenge measurement precision when converted
-
Units are defined under different reference conditions requiring careful environmental consideration
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the 15.5°C reference temperature important in this conversion?
-
The 15.5°C reference ensures consistent gasoline density, allowing accurate mass flow calculations by accounting for thermal expansion effects.
-
Can I use this tool for fluids other than gasoline?
-
This conversion is specific to gasoline measured at 15.5°C. Using it for other fluids may lead to inaccurate results due to differing densities and reference standards.
-
What is one ounce (UK)/hour defined as?
-
One ounce (UK)/hour is a mass flow rate equal to one UK avoirdupois ounce (28.349523125 grams) passing per hour, used for expressing very low mass throughput.
Key Terminology
-
Ounce (UK)/hour [oz (UK)/h]
-
Mass flow rate equal to one UK avoirdupois ounce (28.349523125 g) passing per hour, used for very low mass throughput.
-
Kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
Mass flow rate of gasoline per minute, referenced to its density at 15.5°C to standardize measurements.
-
Custody Transfer
-
The process of transferring ownership of fuel where standardized mass flow measurement ensures accurate billing.
