About Converting Ounce per Cubic inches to Pounds per Gallon
Ounce per Cubic inch and Pound 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
pounds per gallon = ounce per cubic inches × 14.4375
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 ounce per cubic inch equals 1729.99404439 base units, and 1 pound per gallon equals 119.826427317 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct ounce per cubic inch-to-pound per gallon factor of 14.4375.
Simple example
1 oz/in3 × 14.4375 = 14.4375 lb/gal
1 ounce per cubic inch = 14.4375 pounds per gallon.
Real-world example
1,000 oz/in3 × 14.4375 = 14,437.5 lb/gal
1,000 ounce per cubic inches = 14,437.5 pounds per gallon.

Understanding the Pound per Gallon
Pound per Gallon (lb/gal) measures density. The US customary unit for liquid density, based on the US gallon (231 cubic inches). It is classified as a US customary density unit.
Where it's used: United States (paint, fuel, and industrial liquid density specifications)
lb/gal vs. lb/ft³. Both are US customary density units; they're related through the real, fixed relationship between the US gallon and the cubic foot (1 cubic foot ≈ 7.48 US gallons), not a round conversion factor.
Uses of the Pound per Gallon today
