About Converting Milligrams per Oil barrel to Drams per Gallon
Milligram per Oil barrel and Dram 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
drams per gallon = milligrams per oil barrel × 0.0000134376997903
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 milligram per oil barrel equals 0.00000628981077043 base units, and 1 dram per gallon equals 0.468071981707 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct milligram per oil barrel-to-dram per gallon factor of 0.0000134376997903.
Simple example
1 mg/bbl × 0.00001343769979 = 0.0000134377 dr/gal
1 milligram per oil barrel = 0.0000134377 drams per gallon.
Real-world example
1,000 mg/bbl × 0.00001343769979 = 0.0134376998 dr/gal
1,000 milligrams per oil barrel = 0.0134376998 drams per gallon.

What is a milligram per oil barrel?
Milligram per Oil barrel (mg/bbl) is a unit of density.
What is a dram per gallon?
Dram per Gallon (dr/gal) is a unit of density.
Is the milligram per oil barrel to dram per gallon conversion exact?
Yes. Both milligram per oil barrel and dram per gallon are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.00001343769979 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.
