About Converting US hundredweights per Gallon to Pounds per Oil barrel
US 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 = us hundredweights per gallon × 4200
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 us hundredweight per gallon equals 11982.6427317 base units, and 1 pound per oil barrel equals 2.85301017421 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct us hundredweight per gallon-to-pound per oil barrel factor of 4200.
