What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms flow values from ounce (UK) per second, which measures volumetric flow in imperial fluid ounces per time, to kilogram per hour for gasoline measured at 15.5°C, applying gasoline's density at this reference temperature for reliable mass flow calculations.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value in ounce (UK)/second you want to convert.
-
Select 'ounce (UK)/second' as the input unit and 'kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C)' as the output unit.
-
Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent mass flow rate value.
-
Review the result, which reflects gasoline mass flow standardized at 15.5°C for accurate assessments.

-
Browser-based and easy to use without requiring specialized software.
Examples
-
Convert 2 ounce (UK)/second: 2 × 75.6237743728 = 151.2475487456 kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
-
Convert 0.5 ounce (UK)/second: 0.5 × 75.6237743728 = 37.8118871864 kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying small volumetric flow rates for beverage dispensers or laboratory dosing equipment using ounce (UK)/second.
-
Converting volume flow to mass flow for gasoline metering during custody transfer or pipeline operations.
-
Standardizing fuel consumption data in engine testing by using mass flow referenced to 15.5°C gasoline density.
-
Calibrating flow meters and dispensers where density-corrected mass flow measurements are required.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always confirm the gasoline temperature is at or near 15.5°C when using this conversion for accuracy.
-
Use this conversion specifically for gasoline; do not apply it to other liquids without appropriate density adjustments.
-
Input precise volumetric flow values in ounce (UK)/second to ensure an accurate mass flow result.
-
Verify calibration of measurement devices regularly when using converted values for official reporting or billing.
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes gasoline density is exactly at 15.5°C; deviations can impact accuracy.
-
Ounce (UK)/second represents volumetric flow, so temperature or fluid state changes affect volumetric values before conversion.
-
This conversion is valid only for gasoline and does not apply to fluids with differing densities.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is gasoline density at 15.5°C used in this conversion?
-
Using gasoline density at 15.5°C standardizes mass flow calculations, ensuring consistency in fuel metering and comparisons by referencing a common temperature.
-
Can I use this converter for fluids other than gasoline?
-
No, this conversion is specific to gasoline at 15.5°C density and is not applicable to other fluids with different densities.
-
What does ounce (UK)/second measure in this context?
-
Ounce (UK)/second measures volumetric flow as the number of imperial fluid ounces passing per second.
Key Terminology
-
Ounce (UK)/second
-
A volumetric flow unit measuring the number of imperial fluid ounces passing a point per second.
-
Kilogram/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate of gasoline standardized by its density at 15.5°C, used for accurate fuel metering.
-
Density
-
The mass per unit volume of a substance, critical for converting volume flow to mass flow.
