About Converting Ounces per Gallon to Ounces per Liter
Ounce per Gallon and Ounce per Liter 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. Ounce per Gallon is most often used for used to express dilution rates on many us pesticide, herbicide, and household cleaning product labels, which commonly specify a number of fluid ounces of concentrate per gallon of water.
Formula
ounces per liter = ounces per gallon × 0.264172052358
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 ounce per gallon equals 7.48915170731 base units, and 1 ounce per liter equals 28.349523125 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct ounce per gallon-to-ounce per liter factor of 0.264172052358.
Simple example
1 oz/gal × 0.2641720524 = 0.2641720524 oz/L
1 ounce per gallon = 0.2641720524 ounces per liter.
Real-world example
1,000 oz/gal × 0.2641720524 = 264.1720524 oz/L
1,000 ounces per gallon = 264.1720524 ounces per liter.

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.
