What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms flow measurements from pound per hour to kilogram per second, both referenced to gasoline at a standard temperature of 15.5 ºC, ensuring consistency in fuel mass flow calculations for industrial and custody transfer uses.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Input the value in pound/hour (gasoline at 15.5ºC) you wish to convert
-
Select pound/hour as the source unit and kilogram/second as the target unit
-
Execute the conversion to get the equivalent flow rate in kilogram/second
-
Use the output for engineering, custody, or fuel management calculations
Key Features
-
Converts mass flow referencing gasoline density at 15.5 ºC
-
Supports unit conversions critical for custody transfer and engine fuel monitoring
-
Provides standardized conversion consistent with fuel industry standards
-
Enables precise alignment with temperature-corrected flow measurements
Examples
-
100 pound/hour (Gasoline at 15.5ºC) converts to 0.01259979 kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5ºC)
-
500 pound/hour (Gasoline at 15.5ºC) converts to 0.06299895 kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5ºC)
Common Use Cases
-
Custody transfer and metering of gasoline in pipelines and tanker operations with temperature correction
-
Fuel consumption and supply rate specification for engines and industrial burners
-
Calibration and verification of flow meters and fuel delivery components referencing gasoline at 15.5 ºC
-
Refinery process control and emissions measurements requiring standardized mass flow units
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure gasoline temperature remains at 15.5 ºC to maintain accuracy in flow conversions
-
Use this conversion only for gasoline at 15.5 ºC to ensure consistency with density reference standards
-
Apply converted values in fuel management and performance monitoring systems that require SI units
-
Regularly calibrate measurement devices to align with temperature-corrected mass flow standards
Limitations
-
Accuracy depends on maintaining gasoline temperature precisely at 15.5 ºC
-
Not suitable for fluids other than gasoline or for gasoline at different temperatures without corrections
-
Conversion strictly applies to mass flow, not volumetric flow rates
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the temperature 15.5 ºC important in these units?
-
The 15.5 ºC temperature standardizes gasoline density to ensure accurate and consistent mass flow measurements across different systems.
-
Can this conversion be used for other fuels besides gasoline?
-
No, this conversion specifically applies to gasoline at 15.5 ºC and should not be used for other fluids without appropriate adjustments.
-
What is the conversion rate from pound/hour to kilogram/second for gasoline at 15.5 ºC?
-
1 pound/hour (Gasoline at 15.5ºC) equals 0.0001259979 kilogram/second (Gasoline at 15.5ºC).
Key Terminology
