About Converting Imperial hundredweights per Gallon to Short tons per Cup
Imperial hundredweight per Gallon and Short ton per Cup 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 cup = imperial hundredweights per gallon × 0.0035
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 short ton per cup equals 3834445.67414 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct imperial hundredweight per gallon-to-short ton per cup factor of 0.0035.
Simple example
1 long cwt/gal × 0.0035 = 0.0035 ton/cup
1 imperial hundredweight per gallon = 0.0035 short tons per cup.
Real-world example
1,000 long cwt/gal × 0.0035 = 3.5 ton/cup
1,000 imperial hundredweights per gallon = 3.5 short tons per cup.

What is a imperial hundredweight per gallon?
Imperial hundredweight per Gallon (long cwt/gal) is a unit of density.
What is a short ton per cup?
Short ton per Cup (ton/cup) is a unit of density.
Is the imperial hundredweight per gallon to short ton per cup conversion exact?
Yes. Both imperial hundredweight per gallon and short ton per cup are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.0035 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
