About Converting US hundredweights per Oil barrel to Megagrams per Gallon
US hundredweight per Oil barrel and Megagram 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
megagrams per gallon = us hundredweights per oil barrel × 0.00107998183333
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 megagram per gallon equals 264172.052358 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct us hundredweight per oil barrel-to-megagram per gallon factor of 0.00107998183333.
Simple example
1 cwt/bbl × 0.001079981833 = 0.0010799818 Mg/gal
1 us hundredweight per oil barrel = 0.0010799818 megagrams per gallon.
