Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure gasoline quantities are referenced to 15.5 °C for accurate conversions
-
Use the tool for translating mass-flow petroleum data into volumetric gas flow accurately
-
Apply the conversion primarily for low to moderate flow rates involving gasoline and gas
-
Cross-check conversion results when temperature or gasoline composition significantly varies
-
Use this tool to support both custody and operational metering tasks
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes the gasoline is standardized at 15.5 °C; deviations in temperature affect accuracy
-
The volumetric flow unit applies primarily to gas or air flow, so results assume standard phase and conditions
-
Variations in gasoline composition may influence the conversion's exactness
-
Not suitable for flows measured outside the specified units or reference temperature
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is gasoline flow measured at 15.5 °C?
-
Gasoline mass flows are referenced to 15.5 °C to standardize quantities for consistent accounting and comparison in the petroleum industry.
-
What does hundred-cubic foot/hour represent?
-
It is a volumetric flow rate indicating 100 cubic feet of gas passing a point per hour, generally used for low-to-moderate gas flow rates.
-
Can I use this conversion for all types of fluids?
-
No, this conversion specifically applies to gasoline flow rates referenced at 15.5 °C converted to a gas volumetric flow unit; other fluids may require different methods.
-
Does temperature affect the conversion accuracy?
-
Yes, this conversion assumes standard conditions at 15.5 °C; variations in temperature or gasoline properties can impact the accuracy.
Key Terminology
-
Pound/day (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate unit indicating the mass of gasoline delivered, processed, or consumed per day, referenced to a standard temperature of 15.5 °C for consistent density measurement.
-
Hundred-cubic foot/hour
-
A volumetric flow rate equal to 100 cubic feet passing a point each hour, commonly used for low to moderate gas and air flow measurements.
-
Custody transfer
-
The process of transferring ownership of petroleum products often requiring precise flow measurements standardized for temperature.
