About Converting Drams per Gallon to Short tons per Oil barrel
Dram per Gallon and Short ton 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
short tons per oil barrel = drams per gallon × 0.00008203125
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 dram per gallon equals 0.468071981707 base units, and 1 short ton per oil barrel equals 5706.02034842 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct dram per gallon-to-short ton per oil barrel factor of 0.00008203125.
Simple example
1 dr/gal × 0.00008203125 = 0.0000820313 ton/bbl
1 dram per gallon = 0.0000820313 short tons per oil barrel.
Real-world example
1,000 dr/gal × 0.00008203125 = 0.08203125 ton/bbl
1,000 drams per gallon = 0.08203125 short tons per oil barrel.

What is a dram per gallon?
Dram per Gallon (dr/gal) is a unit of density.
What is a short ton per oil barrel?
Short ton per Oil barrel (ton/bbl) is a unit of density.
Is the dram per gallon to short ton per oil barrel conversion exact?
Yes. Both dram per gallon and short ton per oil barrel are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.00008203125 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.
