What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms flow measurements expressed in ounce (UK)/hour, a unit for very low mass flow rates, into pound/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C), a standardized mass flow rate for gasoline adjusted to a reference temperature of 15.5°C.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate value in ounce (UK)/hour into the input field.
-
Select ounce (UK)/hour as the from unit and pound/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) as the to unit.
-
Submit the conversion request to generate the corresponding mass flow rate.
-
Review the converted result to understand the gasoline flow rate at the reference temperature.
-
Use output values for applications or further calculations as needed.

Examples
-
Converting 10 ounce (UK)/hour results in approximately 0.007718606 pound/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
-
A flow of 50 ounce (UK)/hour converts to about 0.03859303 pound/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
Common Use Cases
-
Precise dosing of reagents in laboratory and pharmaceutical environments.
-
Calibrating low-rate chemical metering devices and drip-feed systems.
-
Measuring and controlling gasoline flow for custody transfer and invoicing standardized by temperature.
-
Engineering workflows related to pipeline design and fuel consumption assessment.
-
Formulations needing careful mass flow rate management such as perfumery and flavoring.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure the gasoline density reference temperature is maintained at 15.5°C for accurate results.
-
Use this conversion specifically for gasoline or similar petroleum products standardized to this temperature.
-
Validate flow measurement conditions to avoid deviations from the assumed temperature and density.
-
Apply this tool for low mass flow rates or specific fuel measurement scenarios.
-
Double-check unit selections when entering values to prevent errors.
Limitations
-
The conversion presumes gasoline density referenced at 15.5°C; temperature or composition changes may impact precision.
-
Ounce (UK)/hour is best for very low mass flows and may not suit higher flow rates without consideration.
-
Pound/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) is specific to gasoline and may not apply directly to other fluids without adjustments.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the temperature 15.5°C important for the gasoline unit?
-
The temperature of 15.5°C is a standard reference used to ensure gasoline volume and density corrections produce consistent and comparable mass flow measurements.
-
Can I use this converter for fluids other than gasoline?
-
This converter specifically accounts for gasoline density at 15.5°C, so other fluids may require different density corrections for accurate conversion.
-
What applications benefit from converting ounce (UK)/hour to pound/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C)?
-
Applications include laboratory dosing, chemical metering, fuel custody transfer, refinery operations, and pipeline engineering where precise, temperature-corrected flow measurements are essential.
Key Terminology
-
Ounce (UK)/hour [oz (UK)/h]
-
A measure of mass flow rate where one UK avoirdupois ounce (28.349523125 g) passes per hour, typically for very low mass throughput.
-
Pound/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate unit measuring pounds of gasoline per minute with density referenced to 15.5°C standard temperature, used for consistent petroleum product measurement.
-
Mass Flow Rate
-
The quantity of mass passing through a given surface per unit time, important for measuring substances in motion such as fluids.
