About Converting Megagrams per Oil barrel to Slugs per Gallon
Megagram per Oil barrel and Slug 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
slugs per gallon = megagrams per oil barrel × 1.63147061564
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 megagram per oil barrel equals 6289.81077043 base units, and 1 slug per gallon equals 3855.30129084 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct megagram per oil barrel-to-slug per gallon factor of 1.63147061564.
Simple example
1 Mg/bbl × 1.631470616 = 1.631470616 slug/gal
1 megagram per oil barrel = 1.631470616 slugs per gallon.
Real-world example
1,000 Mg/bbl × 1.631470616 = 1,631.470616 slug/gal
1,000 megagrams per oil barrel = 1,631.470616 slugs per gallon.

What is a megagram per oil barrel?
Megagram per Oil barrel (Mg/bbl) is a unit of density.
What is a slug per gallon?
Slug per Gallon (slug/gal) is a unit of density.
Is the megagram per oil barrel to slug per gallon conversion exact?
Yes. Both megagram per oil barrel and slug per gallon are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1.631470616 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.
