What Is This Tool?
This tool converts flow measurements between pound/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C), a mass flow rate unit standardized for gasoline at a reference temperature, and cubic centimeter/hour, a volumetric flow rate unit suited for very low flow rates. It's ideal for applications in petroleum industry accounting and precision volumetric flow measurements.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value of flow rate in pound/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
Select pound/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C) as the input unit
-
Select cubic centimeter/hour as the output unit
-

Key Features
-
Converts mass flow rate in pound/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C) to volumetric flow in cubic centimeter/hour
-
Useful for standardized gasoline measurements and low flow volumetric calculations
-
Browser-based, easy-to-use interface for quick conversions
-
Supports precise flow translation critical in refinery, custody transfer, and engineering contexts
Examples
-
2 pound/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C) equals 51.1265773084 cubic centimeter/hour
-
0.5 pound/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C) equals 12.7816443271 cubic centimeter/hour
Common Use Cases
-
Custody transfer and inventory accounting at petroleum terminals and pipelines
-
Refinery throughput and gasoline blending mass-balance calculations
-
Fuel consumption or emissions reporting requiring standardized gasoline mass flow
-
Measuring very low volumetric flows for medical infusion pumps and microdosing
-
Specifying flow rates in precision syringe or peristaltic pump experiments
-
Detecting small leak or dispensing rates in engineering tests for lubricants and adhesives
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure gasoline density references temperature at 15.5°C for accuracy
-
Use this conversion for low volumetric flow applications rather than high volume flows
-
Confirm units before performing conversions to maintain consistency in calculations
-
Apply the tool for refinery and custody transfer uses where standardized measurements are required
Limitations
-
Conversion accuracy depends on gasoline being referenced to 15.5°C; temperature deviations may affect results
-
Cubic centimeter/hour is intended for very low flow rates and may not suit high-volume gasoline flows without scaling
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is gasoline mass flow standardized to 15.5°C?
-
Standardizing gasoline flow to 15.5°C accounts for density changes due to temperature, allowing consistent and comparable measurements in the petroleum industry.
-
Can this converter be used for high gasoline flow rates?
-
This converter focuses on translating to cubic centimeter/hour, which suits very low flows; high-volume flows may require different units or scaling.
-
What industries benefit from this pound/day to cubic centimeter/hour conversion?
-
Petroleum refineries, custody transfer operations, and precision engineering fields benefit from this conversion for standardized and precise flow measurements.
Key Terminology
-
Pound/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A unit indicating the mass of gasoline per day standardized to 15.5°C to maintain consistent density for petroleum accounting.
-
Cubic centimeter/hour
-
A volumetric flow rate unit representing the flow of one cubic centimeter (one milliliter) per hour, used for very low flow measurements.
-
Custody transfer
-
The process of transferring petroleum products between parties with standardized measurement protocols for quantity and quality.
