About Converting Milligrams per Gallon to Grains per Oil barrel
Milligram per Gallon and Grain 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
grains per oil barrel = milligrams per gallon × 0.648159050824
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 milligram per gallon equals 0.000264172052358 base units, and 1 grain per oil barrel equals 0.00040757288203 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct milligram per gallon-to-grain per oil barrel factor of 0.648159050824.
Simple example
1 mg/gal × 0.6481590508 = 0.6481590508 gr/bbl
1 milligram per gallon = 0.6481590508 grains per oil barrel.
Real-world example
1,000 mg/gal × 0.6481590508 = 648.1590508 gr/bbl
1,000 milligrams per gallon = 648.1590508 grains per oil barrel.

What is a milligram per gallon?
Milligram per Gallon (mg/gal) is a unit of density.
What is a grain per oil barrel?
Grain per Oil barrel (gr/bbl) is a unit of density.
Is the milligram per gallon to grain per oil barrel conversion exact?
Yes. Both milligram per gallon and grain per oil barrel are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.6481590508 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.
