About Converting Centigrams per Gallon to Drams per Teaspoon
Centigram per Gallon and Dram per Teaspoon 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
drams per teaspoon = centigrams per gallon × 0.00000734874207283
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 centigram per gallon equals 0.00264172052358 base units, and 1 dram per teaspoon equals 359.479281951 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct centigram per gallon-to-dram per teaspoon factor of 0.00000734874207283.
Simple example
1 cg/gal × 0.000007348742073 = 0.0000073487 dr/tsp
1 centigram per gallon = 0.0000073487 drams per teaspoon.
Real-world example
1,000 cg/gal × 0.000007348742073 = 0.0073487421 dr/tsp
1,000 centigrams per gallon = 0.0073487421 drams per teaspoon.

What is a centigram per gallon?
Centigram per Gallon (cg/gal) is a unit of density.
What is a dram per teaspoon?
Dram per Teaspoon (dr/tsp) is a unit of density.
Is the centigram per gallon to dram per teaspoon conversion exact?
Yes. Both centigram per gallon and dram per teaspoon are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.000007348742073 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between density and mass concentration?
Density is the mass of a pure substance or material per unit volume. Mass concentration is the mass of one component — like a dissolved solute — within a mixture's total volume. The two use the same kind of units but describe different physical situations.
