About Converting Grains per Gallon to Imperial hundredweights per Oil barrel
Grain per Gallon and Imperial hundredweight 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
imperial hundredweights per oil barrel = grains per gallon × 0.0000535714285714
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 grain per gallon equals 0.0171180610453 base units, and 1 imperial hundredweight per oil barrel equals 319.537139512 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct grain per gallon-to-imperial hundredweight per oil barrel factor of 0.0000535714285714.
Simple example
1 gr/gal × 0.00005357142857 = 0.0000535714 long cwt/bbl
1 grain per gallon = 0.0000535714 imperial hundredweights per oil barrel.
