About Converting Grains per Gallon to Stones per Oil barrel
Grain per Gallon and Stone 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
stones per oil barrel = grains per gallon × 0.000428571428571
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 stone per oil barrel equals 39.942142439 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct grain per gallon-to-stone per oil barrel factor of 0.000428571428571.
Simple example
1 gr/gal × 0.0004285714286 = 0.0004285714 st/bbl
1 grain per gallon = 0.0004285714 stones per oil barrel.
Real-world example
1,000 gr/gal × 0.0004285714286 = 0.4285714286 st/bbl
1,000 grains per gallon = 0.4285714286 stones per oil barrel.

What is a grain per gallon?
Grain per Gallon (gr/gal) is a unit of density.
What is a stone per oil barrel?
Stone per Oil barrel (st/bbl) is a unit of density.
Is the grain per gallon to stone per oil barrel conversion exact?
Yes. Both grain per gallon and stone per oil barrel are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.0004285714286 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.
