What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms mass flow rates from ounce (UK) per hour, a unit for very low flow rates, into kilogram per second for gasoline at a standard reference temperature of 15.5°C, which is essential for fuel flow applications.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the mass flow value in ounce (UK)/hour you want to convert
-
Select ounce (UK)/hour as the input unit and kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C) as the output unit
-
Click convert to get the equivalent flow rate in kilogram/second for gasoline at 15.5°C
-
Use the result for fuel flow calculations or precise dosing applications
Key Features
-
Converts very low mass flow rates expressed in ounce (UK)/hour to kilogram/second for gasoline at 15.5°C
-
Uses a standard reference temperature to account for gasoline density variations
-
Supports applications in pharmaceutical dosing, specialty chemical feed, and fuel metering
-
Browser-based and easy to use without special software
Examples
-
Convert 10 ounce (UK)/hour to kilogram/second to get 0.0000583517 kg/s
-
Convert 100 ounce (UK)/hour to kilogram/second resulting in 0.000583517 kg/s
Common Use Cases
-
Low-rate dosing of laboratory reagents and chemicals using precision pumps
-
Calibration of small metering or drip-feed devices in pharmaceuticals and specialty manufacturing
-
Fuel mass flow specification and control in engines or turbines using gasoline at 15.5°C
-
Custody transfer and metering at fuel terminals or dispenser systems
-
Flow meter calibration and process control in refineries and pipelines
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure measurement instruments can accurately capture very low flow rates before conversion
-
Use this conversion only for gasoline measured at the reference temperature of 15.5°C
-
Double-check unit selections to avoid incorrect conversions
-
Reference the standard temperature to maintain consistency in fuel flow calculations
Limitations
-
Applicable only to gasoline at 15.5°C; applying to other fluids or temperatures can lead to inaccuracies
-
Requires precise instruments at low flow rates to ensure reliable conversions
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the reference temperature 15.5°C used for gasoline?
-
15.5°C is a common standard reference temperature for gasoline to account for density changes due to temperature variations.
-
Can I use this conversion for other liquids besides gasoline?
-
No, this conversion is specifically for gasoline measured at 15.5°C; using it for other fluids may produce incorrect results.
-
What applications benefit from converting ounce (UK)/hour to kilogram/second?
-
Applications include precise chemical dosing, fuel mass flow specification for engines, and flow meter calibration in refineries.
Key Terminology
-
Ounce (UK)/hour [oz (UK)/h]
-
A mass flow rate unit representing one UK avoirdupois ounce passing per hour, suitable for measuring very low mass throughput.
-
Kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A unit expressing how many kilograms of gasoline flow past a point each second, standardized to a gasoline density at 15.5°C.
-
Flow Meter Calibration
-
The process of verifying and adjusting flow measurement devices to ensure accurate readings, especially important when converting units.
