About Converting Long tons per Gallon to Long tons per Oil barrel
Long ton per Gallon and Long 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
long tons per oil barrel = long tons per gallon × 42
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 long ton per gallon equals 268411.19719 base units, and 1 long ton per oil barrel equals 6390.74279023 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct long ton per gallon-to-long ton per oil barrel factor of 42.
Simple example
1 long ton/gal × 42 = 42 long ton/bbl
1 long ton per gallon = 42 long tons per oil barrel.
Real-world example
1,000 long ton/gal × 42 = 42,000 long ton/bbl
1,000 long tons per gallon = 42,000 long tons per oil barrel.

What is a long ton per gallon?
Long ton per Gallon (long ton/gal) is a unit of density.
What is a long ton per oil barrel?
Long ton per Oil barrel (long ton/bbl) is a unit of density.
Is the long ton per gallon to long ton per oil barrel conversion exact?
Yes. Both long ton per gallon and long ton per oil barrel are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 42 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.
