What Is This Tool?
This tool converts flow rates measured in pound per second of gasoline at a reference temperature of 15.5 °C to ounce (UK) per hour, allowing users to translate high mass flow rates into units suitable for very low throughput measurements.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Input the value in pound/second for gasoline at 15.5°C
-
Select the target unit ounce (UK)/hour
-
Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent mass flow rate
-
Use the output for low-rate dosing, calibration, or fuel consumption analysis
Key Features
-
Converts mass flow rate from pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C) to ounce (UK)/hour
-
Accounts for gasoline density at reference temperature 15.5 °C
-
Suitable for applications needing precise low-rate mass flow measurements

Browser-based and easy to operate
-
Provides conversion examples for clarity
Examples
-
2 pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C) equals 155468.49289 ounce (UK)/hour
-
0.5 pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C) equals 38867.1232225 ounce (UK)/hour
Common Use Cases
-
Custody transfer and pipeline measurement of gasoline mass flow
-
Engine testing and fuel consumption reporting without volume variation
-
Fuel pump and delivery system sizing in automotive engineering
-
Low-rate dosing of lab reagents using precision pumps
-
Micro-dosing in pharmaceuticals, perfumery, and specialty manufacturing
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure gasoline temperature is at 15.5 °C to maintain conversion accuracy
-
Use ounce (UK)/hour units for very low mass flow rates to capture precision
-
Verify unit selection carefully to avoid errors in high flow rate conversions
-
Consider temperature and unit precision in critical measurements
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes gasoline conditioned exactly at 15.5 °C
-
Large numeric results when converting high flow rates in pound/second
-
Potential rounding errors due to very low flow units
-
Temperature changes affect density and thus conversion accuracy
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is gasoline temperature specified at 15.5 °C for this conversion?
-
The reference temperature of 15.5 °C ensures consistent density for gasoline, making mass flow measurements accurate and comparable.
-
Can this converter be used for units other than pound/second and ounce (UK)/hour?
-
This specific converter is designed solely for converting between pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5 °C) and ounce (UK)/hour units.
-
Why do converted values become very large for high flow rates?
-
Ounce (UK)/hour represents a very low mass flow rate unit, so converting large pound/second values results in large numeric outputs.
Key Terminology
-
Pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
Mass flow rate representing pounds of gasoline per second, adjusted to a reference temperature of 15.5 °C to reflect consistent density.
-
Ounce (UK)/hour
-
Mass flow rate of one UK avoirdupois ounce per hour, used for expressing very low mass flow rates.
-
Mass flow rate
-
Quantity of mass passing through a point per unit time.
