About Converting Carats per Oil barrel to Slugs per Cubic yard
Carat per Oil barrel and Slug per Cubic yard 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 cubic yard = carats per oil barrel × 0.0000659029376998
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 cubic yard equals 19.0881043849 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct carat per oil barrel-to-slug per cubic yard factor of 0.0000659029376998.
Simple example
1 ct/bbl × 0.0000659029377 = 0.0000659029 slug/yd3
1 carat per oil barrel = 0.0000659029 slugs per cubic yard.
Real-world example
1,000 ct/bbl × 0.0000659029377 = 0.0659029377 slug/yd3
1,000 carats per oil barrel = 0.0659029377 slugs per cubic yard.
