What Is This Tool?
This converter enables you to translate a mass flow rate of gasoline measured in pounds per hour, referenced to 15.5°C, into a volumetric flow rate represented in milliliters per hour. It supports applications requiring accurate fluid flow measurement under standard temperature conditions.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow rate value in pounds per hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
Select the target unit as milliliters per hour [mL/h]
-
Click convert to obtain the equivalent volumetric flow rate
-
Use the result for engineering, fuel supply, or lab process control purposes
Key Features
-
Converts mass flow rate of gasoline at 15.5°C to volumetric flow rate in mL/h

Examples
-
1 pound/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C) = 613.52 mL/h
-
2 pounds/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C) = 1227.04 mL/h
Common Use Cases
-
Custody-transfer and metering of gasoline in pipelines or tanker trucks with volume corrected to 15.5°C
-
Specifying fuel consumption rates for engines and industrial burners using mass-based calculations
-
Precise drug or fluid delivery rates in medical infusion pumps
-
Reagent dosing in laboratory experiments and microreactors
-
Small-scale chemical dosing or tracer injection in environmental monitoring
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure the gasoline density corresponds to the 15.5°C reference to maintain conversion reliability
-
Use milliliter per hour units for low flow rates to maximize measurement precision
-
Verify equipment capacity when converting very high flow rates to volume
-
Apply conversion results in relevant contexts such as custody transfer, engine calibration, or lab dosing
Limitations
-
Conversion depends on gasoline density at 15.5°C; deviations in temperature or fuel composition may affect results
-
Milliliter per hour is suited for low flow volumes; accuracy and capacity issues can occur at very high rates
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the reference temperature 15.5°C important for this conversion?
-
The reference temperature ensures the gasoline's density is standardized, allowing accurate mass-to-volume flow rate translation used in custody-transfer and engineering.
-
Can I use this conversion for medical infusion applications?
-
Yes, converting to milliliter per hour units is helpful for precise fluid delivery rates such as those required for intravenous infusions.
-
What should I consider when converting very high flow rates?
-
High flow rates may exceed the practical range for milliliter per hour measurement and require validation of equipment capacity and precision.
Key Terminology
-
Pound/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
