About Converting Ounces per Cup to Short tons per Gallon
Ounce 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 = ounces per cup × 0.0005
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 ounce per cup equals 119.826427317 base units, and 1 short ton per gallon equals 239652.854634 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct ounce per cup-to-short ton per gallon factor of 0.0005.
Simple example
1 oz/cup × 0.0005 = 0.0005 ton/gal
1 ounce per cup = 0.0005 short tons per gallon.
Real-world example
1,000 oz/cup × 0.0005 = 0.5 ton/gal
1,000 ounces per cup = 0.5 short tons per gallon.

Frequently asked questions
How many short tons per gallon are in 1 ounce per cup?
1 ounce per cup equals 0.0005 short tons per gallon, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert ounce per cup to short ton per gallon?
Multiply the ounce per cup value by 0.0005. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert short ton per gallon back to ounce per cup?
Use the reverse factor: 1 short ton per gallon equals 2,000 ounces per cup. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a ounce per cup?
Ounce per Cup (oz/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 ounce per cup to short ton per gallon conversion exact?
Yes. Both ounce per cup and short ton per gallon are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.0005 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.
