What Is This Tool?
This unit converter transforms flow values measured in ounce (UK)/second into kilogram/day mass flow rates of gasoline at a standard temperature of 15.5°C, facilitating standardized reporting in petroleum and fuel industries.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate value in ounce (UK)/second
-
Select the source unit as ounce (UK)/second
-
Choose the target unit kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
Click convert to obtain the corresponding mass flow in kilogram/day
-
Use the result for custody transfer, inventory, or process calculations
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow (ounce (UK)/second) to mass flow (kilogram/day for gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
Reflects temperature-corrected gasoline density for consistent mass–volume conversions
-
Supports custody transfer, inventory, and process measurement needs in fuel management
-
Based on precise conversion factor: 1 ounce (UK)/second equals 1814.9705850597 kilogram/day (gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
Browser-based and easy to use without additional software
Examples
-
Convert 2 ounce (UK)/second: 2 × 1814.9705850597 = 3629.94 kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
Convert 0.5 ounce (UK)/second: 0.5 × 1814.9705850597 = 907.49 kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying small beverage dispenser flow rates in horeca and brewing industries
-
Measuring dosing or drip flow rates in laboratory and pharmaceutical compounding
-
Reporting gasoline deliveries by pipeline or tanker based on mass flow standardized to 15.5°C
-
Reconciling inventory and throughput at fuel depots and refineries accounting for temperature
-
Calculating fuel consumption and emissions where temperature-corrected mass flow is critical
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure accurate volumetric flow inputs to avoid significant mass flow discrepancies
-
Use the conversion only for gasoline at the specified temperature of 15.5°C
-
Be aware of potential variations in gasoline composition affecting density assumptions
-
Apply converted values carefully in custody transfer and inventory for consistent reporting
Limitations
-
Assumes gasoline density at exactly 15.5°C; deviations can reduce accuracy
-
Specific to gasoline and may not be valid for other fluids without modification
-
Small measurement errors in flow rate cause large differences over daily mass calculations
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the temperature of 15.5°C important in this conversion?
-
The temperature of 15.5°C is used to standardize gasoline density, ensuring mass flow values are consistent and comparable for custody transfer and inventory purposes.
-
Can I use this conversion for fluids other than gasoline?
-
No, this conversion specifically applies to gasoline at 15.5°C and may not produce accurate results for other fluids.
-
What does 1 ounce (UK)/second mean in terms of volume?
-
One ounce (UK)/second represents the flow of imperial (UK) fluid ounces passing a point each second, with one imperial fluid ounce equal to 28.4130625 millilitres.
Key Terminology
-
Ounce (UK)/second
-
A volumetric flow rate unit measuring the number of imperial (UK) fluid ounces passing a point per second.
-
Kilogram/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate unit indicating the mass of gasoline passing a point daily, adjusted to a standard temperature of 15.5°C for consistent mass–volume conversion.
-
Custody Transfer
-
The process of transferring ownership and responsibility of petroleum products, requiring precise flow measurement standards.
