About Converting US hundredweights per Oil barrel to Kilograms per Gallon
US hundredweight per Oil barrel and Kilogram per Gallon 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
kilograms per gallon = us hundredweights per oil barrel × 1.07998183333
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 us hundredweight per oil barrel equals 285.301017421 base units, and 1 kilogram per gallon equals 264.172052358 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct us hundredweight per oil barrel-to-kilogram per gallon factor of 1.07998183333.
Simple example
1 cwt/bbl × 1.079981833 = 1.079981833 kg/gal
1 us hundredweight per oil barrel = 1.079981833 kilograms per gallon.
Real-world example
1,000 cwt/bbl × 1.079981833 = 1,079.981833 kg/gal
1,000 us hundredweights per oil barrel = 1,079.981833 kilograms per gallon.

Mass per volume density.
Understanding the Kilogram per Gallon
Kilogram per Gallon (kg/gal) measures density. A mathematically valid way to express liquid density in kilograms per US gallon. It is classified as a mixed metric/US customary density unit.
Uses of the Kilogram per Gallon today
- Can be used to express liquid density such as fuel or industrial liquids in kilograms per gallon — in practice, kilograms per liter (metric) and pounds per gallon (US customary) are the specific pairings more commonly seen in fuel and liquid-density references
Kilogram per Gallon — sources
- Fuel and petroleum liquid-density references — Liquid density figures for fuels are typically reported in kg/L, kg/m³, or lb/gal rather than kg/gal.
