Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure gasoline density corresponds to 15.5°C for accurate conversion
-
Use standardized temperature references when performing custody-transfer calculations
-
Confirm flow meter calibration matches mass or volumetric reference units
-
Apply this conversion only for gasoline at the specified temperature to avoid inaccuracies
-
Use volumetric flow results for engineering controls or process monitoring requiring volume units
Limitations
-
Conversion accuracy depends on gasoline being at 15.5°C; other temperatures reduce precision
-
Result is specific to gasoline’s properties at the referenced temperature
-
Not suitable for converting flow rates of other fluids or gasoline at different temperatures without adjustment
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the temperature 15.5°C important in this conversion?
-
The 15.5°C temperature standardizes gasoline density and temperature conditions, ensuring consistent mass flow reference in custody and engineering calculations.
-
Can this conversion be used for fluids other than gasoline?
-
No, the conversion is specifically derived for gasoline at 15.5°C and does not apply accurately to other fluids or different gasoline temperatures.
-
What is the relationship between pound/hour and cubic centimeter/second?
-
Pound/hour measures mass flow rate, while cubic centimeter/second measures volumetric flow rate; this tool converts between these for gasoline at the standard temperature.
Key Terminology
-
Pound/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A unit of mass flow rate indicating pounds of gasoline flowing per hour, referenced to a standard temperature of 15.5°C for accurate density correction.
-
Cubic centimeter/second
-
A volumetric flow rate unit equal to one cubic centimeter of fluid passing a point each second, equivalent to one milliliter per second.
-
Custody-transfer
-
The process of transferring ownership of gasoline, where precise mass flow measurement and temperature correction are critical.
