-
Browser-based and easy to use with direct input and output units.
Examples
-
0.5 pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C) equals 622.36628843925 ounce/minute [oz/min].
-
2 pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C) equals 2489.465153757 ounce/minute [oz/min].
Common Use Cases
-
Custody transfer and terminal measurement for fuel billing and inventory control.
-
Engine testing and fuel consumption reporting in automotive engineering.
-
Design and performance evaluation of fuel pumps and delivery systems.
-
Dosing small liquid additives or lubricants in manufacturing environments.
-
Measuring dispensing rates of syrups, sauces, or beverages in food service.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Confirm whether ounce/minute refers to mass or volume to avoid unit ambiguity.
-
Ensure gasoline density and temperature conditioning match the 15.5°C reference for accuracy.
-
Use the tool for adjusting flow rates at smaller scales requiring mass flow precision.
-
Cross-verify converted values when used in legal or inventory-sensitive contexts.
Limitations
-
Ounce/minute can denote mass or volumetric flow depending on the application context.
-
Density variation due to temperature deviations may influence conversion accuracy.
-
Conversion precision depends on correct gravity and temperature standard adherence.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C) represent?
-
It is a mass flow rate measuring pounds of gasoline passing a point per second, adjusted for gasoline at a reference temperature of 15.5 degrees Celsius to account for density changes.
-
Is ounce/minute always a mass flow unit?
-
No, ounce/minute can refer to mass flow (avoirdupois ounces) or volumetric flow (fluid ounces) depending on the context.
-
Why is temperature conditioning important in this conversion?
-
Because gasoline density changes with temperature, the flow rate is standardized at 15.5°C to ensure consistent mass flow measurements.
Key Terminology
-
Pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate measuring pounds of gasoline per second, standardized at 15.5 degrees Celsius to account for fuel density variations with temperature.
-
Ounce/minute [oz/min]
-
A flow rate unit indicating how many ounces pass a point each minute, which can represent mass (avoirdupois ounces) or volume (fluid ounces).
-
Mass Flow
-
The measurement of mass passing through a point per unit time, often used to account for density changes over volumetric flow.
