Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure that gasoline temperature is accurately referenced at 15.5°C for correct conversions
-
Use ounce (UK)/hour units for very low flow rate measurements for better precision
-
Apply conversion results within the scope of specified substances and flow regimes
-
Double-check calibration when transitioning between bulk fuel measurement and micro-dosing
-
Consider temperature and density variations for improved measurement accuracy
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes gasoline properties are measured exactly at 15.5°C; deviations may affect accuracy
-
Ounce (UK)/hour units are suitable primarily for very low flow rates, not for high flow or unrelated fluids
-
Conversion accuracy depends on stable gasoline density at the reference temperature
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the temperature 15.5°C important in this conversion?
-
The 15.5°C reference temperature standardizes gasoline density and flow measurements for accurate mass flow calculations in custody and engineering applications.
-
Can this converter be used for fluids other than gasoline?
-
This conversion specifically applies to gasoline referenced at 15.5°C; using it for other substances may lead to inaccurate results.
-
When should I use ounce (UK)/hour for measuring flow?
-
Ounce (UK)/hour is best suited for expressing very low mass flow rates such as in laboratory dosing, pharmaceutical applications, or micro-dosing scenarios.
Key Terminology
-
Pound/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate unit indicating pounds of gasoline passing a point each hour, with density referenced to 15.5°C for precision.
-
Ounce (UK)/hour
-
A mass flow rate unit representing UK avoirdupois ounces passing per hour, ideal for very low throughput flow measurements.
-
Custody Transfer
-
The process of transferring fuel ownership and measurement, often involving temperature and density corrections to ensure accuracy.
