What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms flow measurements from ounce (UK)/second units, which measure volumetric flow, into kilogram/second units for gasoline at 15.5°C, representing mass flow rates with density accounted for at this reference temperature.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value in ounce (UK)/second.
-
Select the target unit as kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
-
Perform the conversion to receive the equivalent mass flow rate.
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow in ounce (UK)/second to mass flow in kilogram/second for gasoline at 15.5°C.
-
Uses an established conversion factor based on gasoline density at the standard reference temperature.
-
Helps translate flow measurements critical for fuel delivery and engine performance.
Examples
-
5 ounce (UK)/second converts to 0.10503 kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
-
10 ounce (UK)/second converts to 0.21007 kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
Common Use Cases
-
Calculating fuel mass flow to engines or turbines for combustion control.
-
Metering and billing fuel at terminals or dispenser systems using mass measurements.
-
Calibrating flow meters and testing process-control systems in refineries or pipelines.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure gasoline density is referenced at 15.5°C for accurate conversion results.
-
Use this tool for applications requiring precise mass flow rates rather than volumetric values.
-
Verify that fuel composition and temperature conditions match the reference standard.
Limitations
-
Conversion accuracy depends on gasoline density at 15.5°C; temperature or composition changes affect results.
-
Not suitable for fluids other than gasoline or for gasoline measurements at temperatures other than 15.5°C without adjustments.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the gasoline density referenced at 15.5°C in this conversion?
-
Gasoline density varies with temperature; 15.5°C is a common standard reference to ensure consistent and accurate mass flow calculations.
-
Can I use this converter for fluids other than gasoline?
-
No, this conversion specifically applies to gasoline at 15.5°C due to its unique density characteristics.
-
What unit does the converter start from and convert to?
-
It converts from ounce (UK)/second, a volumetric flow unit, to kilogram/second, a mass flow unit for gasoline at the specified temperature.
Key Terminology
-
Ounce (UK)/second
-
A unit of volumetric flow rate representing the number of imperial fluid ounces passing a point each second.
-
Kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate unit indicating how many kilograms of gasoline flow per second, standardized at 15.5°C to account for density.
-
Volumetric Flow Rate
-
The volume of fluid passing a point per unit time.
