What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms flow measurements from ounce (UK) per second, a volumetric flow rate, into pound per minute, a mass flow rate for gasoline standardized at 15.5°C. It helps compare and control liquid flow in fuel and industrial settings.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value in ounce (UK)/second.
-
Select ounce (UK)/second as the source unit.
-
Choose pound/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) as the target unit.
-
Click the convert button to see the corresponding mass flow rate.
-
Use the result for fuel handling, measurement, or engineering calculations.
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow in ounce (UK)/second to mass flow in pound/minute for gasoline at 15.5°C
-
Accounts for gasoline density at a standard reference temperature to ensure consistent results
-
Supports use cases in petroleum custody transfer and refinery operations
-
Browser-based and easy to use for quick flow rate translation
Examples
-
Convert 2 ounce (UK)/second: 2 × 2.7786980625 = 5.557396125 pound/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
-
Convert 0.5 ounce (UK)/second: 0.5 × 2.7786980625 = 1.38934903125 pound/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C).
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying flow rates for small dispensers or taps in beverage and laboratory settings before conversion to gasoline mass flow.
-
Custody transfer and invoicing of gasoline shipments with volumes corrected to 15.5°C and expressed as mass flow.
-
Engineering tasks like pipeline sizing, pump selection, and fuel consumption analyses using temperature-referenced mass flow rates.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure the gasoline density corresponds to 15.5°C to maintain conversion accuracy.
-
Use this conversion specifically for gasoline due to its temperature and density reference.
-
Verify flow rates before using conversions for custody transfer or quality control.
-
Avoid applying this conversion to liquids other than gasoline or without temperature correction.
Limitations
-
Assumes gasoline density at 15.5°C; temperature or composition variations can affect outcomes.
-
Requires knowledge of liquid properties for accurate volumetric to mass flow conversions.
-
Not suitable for other liquids or without temperature referencing.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is temperature referencing important in this conversion?
-
Temperature referencing at 15.5°C standardizes gasoline density to ensure mass flow measurements remain consistent and comparable despite thermal expansion.
-
Can I use this conversion for other liquids besides gasoline?
-
No, this tool is designed for gasoline flow rates accounting for its density at 15.5°C and may not provide accurate results for other liquids.
-
What does ounce (UK)/second measure?
-
Ounce (UK)/second measures volumetric flow as the number of imperial fluid ounces passing a point per second.
Key Terminology
-
Ounce (UK)/second
-
A volumetric flow unit indicating the number of imperial fluid ounces passing a point each second, equal to 28.4130625 millilitres per second.
-
Pound/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow unit measuring pounds of gasoline per minute at a standardized reference temperature of 15.5°C to ensure consistency.
-
Temperature referencing
-
Adjusting measurements to a standard temperature to compare volumes and densities accurately despite thermal changes.
