About Converting Long tons per Gallon to Metric tons per Oil barrel
Long ton per Gallon and Metric 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
metric tons per oil barrel = long tons per gallon × 42.6739701696
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 metric ton per oil barrel equals 6289.81077043 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct long ton per gallon-to-metric ton per oil barrel factor of 42.6739701696.
Simple example
1 long ton/gal × 42.67397017 = 42.67397017 t/bbl
1 long ton per gallon = 42.67397017 metric tons per oil barrel.
Real-world example
1,000 long ton/gal × 42.67397017 = 42,673.97017 t/bbl
1,000 long tons per gallon = 42,673.97017 metric 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 metric ton per oil barrel?
Metric ton per Oil barrel (t/bbl) is a unit of density.
Is the long ton per gallon to metric ton per oil barrel conversion exact?
Yes. Both long ton per gallon and metric ton per oil barrel are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 42.67397017 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.
