About Converting Milligrams per Oil barrel to Slugs per Imperial gallon
Milligram per Oil barrel and Slug per Imperial 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 imperial gallon = milligrams per oil barrel × 1.959315e-9
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 slug per imperial gallon equals 3210.20985885 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct milligram per oil barrel-to-slug per imperial gallon factor of 1.959315e-9.
Simple example
1 mg/bbl × 1.959315e-9 = 1.959315e-9 slug/imp gal
1 milligram per oil barrel = 1.959315e-9 slugs per imperial gallon.
Real-world example
1,000 mg/bbl × 1.959315e-9 = 0.0000019593 slug/imp gal
1,000 milligrams per oil barrel = 0.0000019593 slugs per imperial gallon.

What is a milligram per oil barrel?
Milligram per Oil barrel (mg/bbl) is a unit of density.
What is a slug per imperial gallon?
Slug per Imperial gallon (slug/imp gal) is a unit of density.
Is the milligram per oil barrel to slug per imperial gallon conversion exact?
Yes. Both milligram per oil barrel and slug per imperial gallon are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1.959315e-9 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.
