What Is This Tool?
This tool converts flow measurements from pound per hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C), a mass flow unit with temperature reference, to ounce (UK) per second, a volumetric flow unit suited for small-scale flows.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the flow value in pound/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
Select the target unit as ounce (UK) per second
-
Use the conversion formula or automatic conversion to get the equivalent volumetric flow
-
Apply the result for your engineering, fuel consumption, or dosing requirements
Key Features
-
Converts mass flow (pound/hour for gasoline at 15.5°C) to volumetric flow (ounce (UK)/second)
-
Includes temperature-referenced gasoline mass flow for precise custody and engineering use
-
Supports applications in fuel consumption, metering, dispensing, laboratory dosing, and microfluidics
-
Browser-based, easy to use with clear conversion formula and example calculations
Examples
-
10 pound/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C) converts to 0.05998 ounce (UK)/second
-
100 pound/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C) converts to 0.5998 ounce (UK)/second
Common Use Cases
-
Custody-transfer and metering of gasoline in pipelines or terminals with temperature correction
-
Fuel consumption specification for engines, generators, and industrial burners using mass flow
-
Flow rate measurement and calibration of fuel delivery systems needing temperature-referenced data
-
Measuring small dispenser or tap flow rates in beverage service and breweries
-
Dosing or drip rates in pharmaceutical compounding and laboratory liquid handling
-
Describing microfluidic flows and small leaks in engineering and testing
Tips & Best Practices
-
Consider the gasoline density referenced at 15.5°C to maintain conversion accuracy
-
Account for temperature or fuel composition changes when applying results
-
Use ounce (UK)/second for small-scale volumetric flows rather than large volumes
-
Verify calibration of flow meters when performing custody-transfer or emission calculations
Limitations
-
Conversion depends on gasoline density referenced specifically at 15.5°C; differing conditions affect accuracy
-
Units convert mass flow to volumetric flow, requiring density consideration for precise results
-
Ounce (UK)/second is designed for small-scale flows; may not be suitable for large flow measurements
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is gasoline referenced at 15.5°C in this conversion?
-
Gasoline flow is referenced at 15.5°C to standardize density and temperature effects for accurate mass flow measurements in custody and engineering.
-
Can I use this tool for large-scale volumetric flow conversions?
-
This tool is best for small scale flows. Larger flows may require scaling or different volumetric units instead of ounce (UK)/second.
-
What should I consider when converting mass flow to volumetric flow?
-
You need to account for the density of the substance, as mass and volumetric flow rates depend on it, especially with temperature or composition changes.
Key Terminology
-
Pound/hour (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate unit representing one pound of gasoline passing a point each hour with density referenced to 15.5°C for accuracy.
-
Ounce (UK)/second
-
A volumetric flow rate unit indicating imperial fluid ounces passing a point every second; one ounce (UK) equals approximately 28.413 millilitres.
-
Mass flow rate
-
The amount of mass passing through a point per unit time.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The volume of fluid passing through a point per unit time.
