About Converting Long tons per Imperial gallon to Metric tons per Gallon
Long ton per Imperial gallon and Metric ton 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
metric tons per gallon = long tons per imperial gallon × 0.84603603133
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 long ton per imperial gallon equals 223499.074765 base units, and 1 metric ton per gallon equals 264172.052358 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct long ton per imperial gallon-to-metric ton per gallon factor of 0.84603603133.
Simple example
1 long ton/imp gal × 0.8460360313 = 0.8460360313 t/gal
1 long ton per imperial gallon = 0.8460360313 metric tons per gallon.
Real-world example
1,000 long ton/imp gal × 0.8460360313 = 846.0360313 t/gal
1,000 long tons per imperial gallon = 846.0360313 metric tons per gallon.

How do I convert metric ton per gallon back to long ton per imperial gallon?
Use the reverse factor: 1 metric ton per gallon equals 1.181982756 long tons per imperial gallon. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a long ton per imperial gallon?
Long ton per Imperial gallon (long ton/imp gal) is a unit of density.
What is a metric ton per gallon?
Metric ton per Gallon (t/gal) is a unit of density.
Is the long ton per imperial gallon to metric ton per gallon conversion exact?
Yes. Both long ton per imperial gallon and metric ton per gallon are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.8460360313 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between density and mass concentration?
Density is the mass of a pure substance or material per unit volume. Mass concentration is the mass of one component — like a dissolved solute — within a mixture's total volume. The two use the same kind of units but describe different physical situations.
