Examples
-
2 pound/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C) converts to 29448.90854 milliliters per day.
-
0.5 pound/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C) converts to 7362.227135 milliliters per day.
Common Use Cases
-
Custody-transfer and metering of gasoline in pipelines or tanker trucks with temperature correction.
-
Specifying fuel supply rates for engines and industrial burners based on mass flow.
-
Calibration and verification of fuel delivery and flow meter systems.
-
Clinical monitoring of low-volume fluid outputs such as urine or surgical drains.
-
Reporting total daily volumes for low-rate infusions or drug delivery.
-
Laboratory and environmental measurements for microflow or seepage testing.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure flow rates are referenced to 15.5°C gasoline conditions for accurate conversion.
-
Use milliliter/day units for low volumetric flows to improve measurement precision.
-
Cross-check flow meter calibration status when performing conversions for operational use.
-
Apply conversion results in contexts requiring daily volumetric flow reporting.
-
Avoid scaling large gasoline flow volumes directly into milliliter/day without appropriate unit adjustments.
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes gasoline density and flow conditions at 15.5°C; variations can affect accuracy.
-
Milliliter per day units are best suited for very low flow rates and may be impractical for large gasoline volumes without scaling.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is gasoline flow measured at 15.5°C?
-
Measuring gasoline flow at 15.5°C standardizes density and temperature for accurate custody transfer and engineering calculations.
-
Can I use this conversion for any type of fluid?
-
No, this conversion specifically applies to gasoline flows referenced at 15.5°C and should not be used for other fluids without proper adjustments.
-
Is milliliter/day appropriate for large gasoline flows?
-
Milliliter/day is designed for very low flow rates and may not be practical for large-scale gasoline flows without suitable scaling.
Key Terminology
-
Pound/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate representing one pound of gasoline passing a point per hour, corrected to a standard temperature of 15.5°C for density and temperature.
-
Milliliter/day [mL/d]
-
A volumetric flow rate indicating one milliliter of fluid moving or consumed over one day, suitable for very low continuous or cumulative flows.
-
Custody Transfer
-
The process of accounting for and transferring gasoline quantities with standardized conditions to ensure accurate measurement and reporting.
