What Is This Tool?
This unit converter transforms flow measurements from ounce (UK)/second, a volumetric rate, to kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C), a standardized mass flow rate used primarily in the fuel industry and related fields.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value measured in ounce (UK)/second.
-
Select ounce (UK)/second as the original unit and kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) as the target unit.
-
Execute the conversion to receive the mass flow rate standardized at 15.5°C.
Key Features
-
Converts small-scale volumetric flow rates to standardized mass flow values for gasoline.
-
Uses a fixed reference temperature of 15.5°C to ensure consistent density-based conversion.
-
Suitable for applications like fuel custody transfer, calibration, and vehicle testing.
Examples
-
5 ounce (UK)/second converts to approximately 6.30 kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
-
0.1 ounce (UK)/second converts to roughly 0.126 kilogram/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
Common Use Cases
-
Determining precise fuel transfer quantities in terminals and pipeline custody transfers.
-
Calibrating fuel flowmeters and verifying tanker loading with density-corrected mass flow.
-
Comparing engine and vehicle fuel consumption standardized by temperature.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always confirm the gasoline density corresponds to 15.5°C for accurate conversions.
-
Use the tool for small-scale flows especially where volumetric to mass flow translation is critical.
-
Ensure temperature references align when comparing or recording flow measurements.
Limitations
-
Conversion is based on gasoline density at 15.5°C and may not be valid for other temperatures or fuel types.
-
From-unit is volumetric flow while to-unit is mass flow, requiring accurate density data for correctness.
-
Temperature variations can affect conversion accuracy if not properly accounted for.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the gasoline temperature set at 15.5°C for this conversion?
-
15.5°C is a standardized reference temperature used to account for thermal expansion and provide consistent mass–volume conversions across different conditions.
Key Terminology
