About Converting Ounces per Gallon to Kilograms per Gallon
Ounce per Gallon and Kilogram per Gallon both measure mass concentration — how much of a substance is dissolved or dispersed in a given volume — a core calculation for preparing lab solutions, checking water quality against a regulatory limit, or formulating a pharmaceutical dose. Ounce per Gallon is most often used for used to express dilution rates on many us pesticide, herbicide, and household cleaning product labels, which commonly specify a number of fluid ounces of concentrate per gallon of water.
Formula
kilograms per gallon = ounces per gallon × 0.028349523125
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 ounce per gallon equals 7.48915170731 base units, and 1 kilogram per gallon equals 264.172052358 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct ounce per gallon-to-kilogram per gallon factor of 0.028349523125.
Simple example
1 oz/gal × 0.02834952313 = 0.0283495231 kg/gal
1 ounce per gallon = 0.0283495231 kilograms per gallon.
Real-world example
100 oz/gal × 0.02834952313 = 2.834952313 kg/gal
100 ounces per gallon = 2.834952313 kilograms per gallon.

Ounce per Gallon vs. Kilogram per Gallon
| Aspect | Ounce per Gallon | Kilogram per Gallon |
|---|---|---|
| Family | US customary concentration unit | mixed metric/US customary density unit |
| Typical use | Used to express dilution rates on many US pesticide, herbicide, and household cleaning product labels, which commonly specify a number of fluid ounces of concentrate per gallon of water | Can be used to express liquid density such as fuel or industrial liquids in kilograms per gallon — in practice, kilograms per liter (metric) and pounds per gallon (US customary) are the specific pairings more commonly seen in fuel and liquid-density references |
Understanding the Ounce per Gallon
Ounce per Gallon (oz/gal) measures concentration (dilution rate). A US customary way to express how much concentrate is mixed into each gallon of a diluted solution. It is classified as a US customary concentration unit.

Where is the ounce per gallon still used today?
United States
What's the difference between mass concentration and molarity?
Mass concentration expresses how much mass of a substance is present per unit volume (for example, grams per liter). Molarity expresses the amount in moles per liter instead, which accounts for the substance's molecular weight. This category converts mass-concentration units.
