About Converting Imperial hundredweights per Gallon to Long tons per Oil barrel

Imperial hundredweight per Gallon and Long 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

long tons per oil barrel = imperial hundredweights per gallon × 2.1

This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 imperial hundredweight per gallon equals 13420.5598595 base units, and 1 long ton per oil barrel equals 6390.74279023 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct imperial hundredweight per gallon-to-long ton per oil barrel factor of 2.1.

Simple example

1 long cwt/gal × 2.1 = 2.1 long ton/bbl

1 imperial hundredweight per gallon = 2.1 long tons per oil barrel.

Real-world example

1,000 long cwt/gal × 2.1 = 2,100 long ton/bbl

1,000 imperial hundredweights per gallon = 2,100 long tons per oil barrel.

What is a imperial hundredweight per gallon?

Imperial hundredweight per Gallon (long cwt/gal) is a unit of density.

What is a long ton per oil barrel?

Long ton per Oil barrel (long ton/bbl) is a unit of density.

Is the imperial hundredweight per gallon to long ton per oil barrel conversion exact?

Yes. Both imperial hundredweight per gallon and long ton per oil barrel are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 2.1 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
