About Converting Imperial hundredweights per Gallon to Pounds per Oil barrel
Imperial hundredweight per Gallon and Pound 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
pounds per oil barrel = imperial hundredweights per gallon × 4704
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 pound per oil barrel equals 2.85301017421 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct imperial hundredweight per gallon-to-pound per oil barrel factor of 4704.
Simple example
1 long cwt/gal × 4704 = 4,704 lb/bbl
1 imperial hundredweight per gallon = 4,704 pounds per oil barrel.
Real-world example
1,000 long cwt/gal × 4704 = 4,704,000 lb/bbl
1,000 imperial hundredweights per gallon = 4,704,000 pounds per oil barrel.
