About Converting US hundredweights per Gallon to Short tons per Oil barrel
US hundredweight per Gallon and Short ton 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
short tons per oil barrel = us hundredweights per gallon × 2.1
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 short ton per oil barrel equals 5706.02034842 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct us hundredweight per gallon-to-short ton per oil barrel factor of 2.1.
Simple example
1 cwt/gal × 2.1 = 2.1 ton/bbl
1 us hundredweight per gallon = 2.1 short tons per oil barrel.
Real-world example
1,000 cwt/gal × 2.1 = 2,100 ton/bbl
1,000 us hundredweights per gallon = 2,100 short tons per oil barrel.
