About Converting Megagrams per Cup to Short tons per Gallon
Megagram per Cup and Short 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
short tons per gallon = megagrams per cup × 17.6369809748
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 megagram per cup equals 4226752.83773 base units, and 1 short ton per gallon equals 239652.854634 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct megagram per cup-to-short ton per gallon factor of 17.6369809748.
Simple example
1 Mg/cup × 17.63698097 = 17.63698097 ton/gal
1 megagram per cup = 17.63698097 short tons per gallon.

What is a megagram per cup?
Megagram per Cup (Mg/cup) is a unit of density.
What is a short ton per gallon?
Short ton per Gallon (ton/gal) is a unit of density.
Is the megagram per cup to short ton per gallon conversion exact?
Yes. Both megagram per cup and short ton per gallon are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 17.63698097 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.
