What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms flow rates measured in pounds per hour for gasoline at 15.5°C, a mass flow unit, into milliliters per second, a volumetric flow rate used in various technical and engineering fields.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value in pound/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
Select the desired output unit as milliliter/second [mL/s]
-
Click convert to see the equivalent volumetric flow rate
Key Features
-
Converts mass flow of gasoline at standard temperature to volumetric flow
-
Supports plumbing, automotive, and laboratory measurement needs
-
Browser-based and simple to use without additional software
Examples
-
5 pound/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C) converts to approximately 0.8521 mL/s
-
10 pound/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C) converts to approximately 1.7042 mL/s
Common Use Cases
-
Custody-transfer and metering of gasoline flow in pipelines and tanker trucks
-
Fuel consumption specification for engines and industrial burners
-
Calibration of flow meters requiring temperature-referenced mass flow measurements
-
Measuring flow rates for laboratory, medical, and engineering applications
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure gasoline density corresponds to 15.5°C to maintain conversion relevance
-
Use milliliter/second units primarily for small flow rate measurements
-
Apply appropriate scaling or units for larger industrial flows beyond mL/s
Limitations
-
Conversion depends on gasoline's density at 15.5°C; temperature or composition changes affect accuracy
-
Milliliter per second units are less suited for large industrial volumetric flows
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the gasoline specified at 15.5°C in pound/hour?
-
The 15.5°C reference standardizes gasoline density and temperature for accurate mass flow measurements in custody and engineering calculations.
-
What does milliliter per second measure?
-
Milliliter per second quantifies small volume flow rates of fluids, useful in laboratory, medical, and precision engineering environments.
-
Can this conversion be used for large industrial flows?
-
Milliliter per second is best suited for small flow rates; for large flows, different volumetric units or scaling methods should be applied.
Key Terminology
-
Pound/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate representing one pound of gasoline passing a point each hour, standardized to 15.5°C for temperature-corrected measurements.
-
Milliliter/second [mL/s]
-
A metric volumetric flow rate indicating one milliliter of fluid passing a point each second, used for precise small-scale flow measurements.
