What Is This Tool?
This tool converts mass flow rates from pound per minute for gasoline at 15.5°C, a standardized temperature reference, into ounce (UK) per hour, a unit for low mass throughput. It assists in translating large-scale gas flow measurements into much smaller, precise flow units.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the mass flow value in pound/minute referenced at 15.5°C

Examples
-
2 pound/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) = 2591.1415483684 ounce (UK)/hour
-
0.5 pound/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) = 647.7853870921 ounce (UK)/hour
Common Use Cases
-
Custody transfer and invoicing of gasoline shipments with standardized temperature correction
-
Metering and loading operations at refineries and terminals ensuring quality control
-
Engineering calculations for pipelines, pumps, emissions, and fuel consumption
-
Low-rate dosing of reagents in laboratory and pharmaceutical settings
-
Precision formulation and micro-dosing in perfumery and flavoring industries
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always confirm gasoline density is referenced to 15.5°C for accurate conversion
-
Use the ounce (UK)/hour unit for very low mass flow rates to maintain precision
-
Ensure instruments are well calibrated due to the scale difference between units
-
Apply conversions primarily in contexts needing fine flow measurement granularity
-
Avoid using ounce (UK)/hour for large-scale mass flows to prevent cumbersome values
Limitations
-
Conversion relies on gasoline density standardized at 15.5°C; deviations affect accuracy
-
Ounce (UK)/hour is only suitable for very low mass flow rates
-
Measurement precision and calibration are critical due to unit scale differences
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the gasoline density referenced to 15.5°C?
-
The reference at 15.5°C standardizes volume and density measurements to account for temperature effects, making mass flow rates comparable and consistent.
-
Can I use ounce (UK)/hour for high flow rates?
-
No, ounce (UK)/hour is intended for very low mass flow rates and is impractical for representing large-scale flows.
-
What is the main benefit of converting pound/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C) to ounce (UK)/hour?
-
It allows translating large gasoline mass flow rates into precise, small-scale units suitable for detailed process controls and dosing.
Key Terminology
-
Pound/minute (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow unit defining pounds of gasoline passing per minute referenced to 15.5°C to standardize density.
-
Ounce (UK)/hour [oz (UK)/h]
-
A mass flow rate unit indicating one UK avoirdupois ounce passing per hour, used for very low mass throughput.
-
Standard Temperature Reference
-
Using a fixed temperature such as 15.5°C to correct measurements for volume and density variations due to temperature.
