What Is This Tool?
This converter allows users to change flow rates measured in pound/second for gasoline at 15.5°C, a mass-based unit, into ounce (UK)/second, a volumetric flow rate unit. It is designed to help translate mass flow rates of gasoline at a standard reference temperature into imperial fluid ounce volumetric flow rates for precise applications.

-
Convert 0.5 pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C) to ounce (UK)/second results in 10.7964231174 ounce (UK)/second
Common Use Cases
-
Custody transfer and pipeline measurement converting gasoline mass flow at 15.5°C to volumetric flow for billing
-
Engine testing and fuel consumption analysis reporting mass delivery per second to avoid temperature-related density errors
-
Design and specification of fuel pumps and delivery systems in petroleum and automotive fields
-
Specifying flow rates for beverage dispensers and taps in breweries
-
Measuring dosing or drip rates in laboratory and pharmaceutical liquid handling
-
Characterizing small leak or microfluidic flows in engineering tests
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always ensure gasoline is conditioned at the standard 15.5°C for accurate conversion results
-
Use this tool when you need to correlate mass flow rates with volumetric flow in imperial fluid ounces
-
Consider the physical context since temperature and fluid composition variations affect density and conversion accuracy
-
Verify that flow measurements are consistent with the reference conditions before converting
Limitations
-
Conversion is accurate only when gasoline is at the reference temperature of 15.5°C due to density dependency
-
Pound/second measures mass flow while ounce (UK)/second measures volume flow, so density must be assumed constant
-
Variations in fluid composition or temperature will affect conversion precision and should be accounted for separately
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the temperature 15.5°C specified in the pound/second measurement?
-
The temperature of 15.5°C is used to standardize gasoline density to ensure consistent mass flow rate measurements despite temperature-related volume changes.
-
Can I use this conversion for fluids other than gasoline?
-
No, this conversion specifically applies to gasoline conditioned at 15.5°C due to its density characteristics required for accurate results.
-
What does the unit ounce (UK)/second represent?
-
Ounce (UK)/second represents a volumetric flow rate equal to the number of imperial fluid ounces passing a point each second, with one imperial fluid ounce equal to 28.4130625 millilitres.
Key Terminology
