About Converting Drams per Oil barrel to Kilograms per Gallon
Dram per Oil barrel and Kilogram per Gallon 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
kilograms per gallon = drams per oil barrel × 0.0000421867903646
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 dram per oil barrel equals 0.011144570993 base units, and 1 kilogram per gallon equals 264.172052358 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct dram per oil barrel-to-kilogram per gallon factor of 0.0000421867903646.
Simple example
1 dr/bbl × 0.00004218679036 = 0.0000421868 kg/gal
1 dram per oil barrel = 0.0000421868 kilograms per gallon.
Real-world example
1,000 dr/bbl × 0.00004218679036 = 0.0421867904 kg/gal
1,000 drams per oil barrel = 0.0421867904 kilograms per gallon.

Mass per volume density.
Understanding the Kilogram per Gallon
Kilogram per Gallon (kg/gal) measures density. A mathematically valid way to express liquid density in kilograms per US gallon. It is classified as a mixed metric/US customary density unit.
Uses of the Kilogram per Gallon today
- 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
Kilogram per Gallon — sources
- Fuel and petroleum liquid-density references — Liquid density figures for fuels are typically reported in kg/L, kg/m³, or lb/gal rather than kg/gal.

What is a dram per oil barrel?
Dram per Oil barrel (dr/bbl) is a unit of density.
What is a kilogram per gallon?
Kilogram per Gallon (kg/gal) measures density. A mathematically valid way to express liquid density in kilograms per US gallon. It is classified as a mixed metric/US customary density unit.
Is the dram per oil barrel to kilogram per gallon conversion exact?
Yes. Both dram per oil barrel and kilogram per gallon are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.00004218679036 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.
