About Converting Carats per Oil barrel to Slugs per Oil barrel
Carat per Oil barrel and Slug per Oil barrel both measure density — mass per unit volume — a property used to identify materials, check manufacturing quality, and predict whether something floats or sinks. As a fixed reference point, water has a density of exactly 1000 kg/m³ (1 g/cm³, 1 g/mL) at its temperature of maximum density, which is why many density figures in science and engineering are quoted relative to water. Both are mass per volume density units.
Formula
slugs per oil barrel = carats per oil barrel × 0.0000137043531714
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 carat per oil barrel equals 0.00125796215409 base units, and 1 slug per oil barrel equals 91.792887877 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct carat per oil barrel-to-slug per oil barrel factor of 0.0000137043531714.
Simple example
1 ct/bbl × 0.00001370435317 = 0.0000137044 slug/bbl
1 carat per oil barrel = 0.0000137044 slugs per oil barrel.
Real-world example
1,000 ct/bbl × 0.00001370435317 = 0.0137043532 slug/bbl
1,000 carats per oil barrel = 0.0137043532 slugs per oil barrel.
