About Converting Ounces per Gallon to Short tons per Gallon
Ounce per Gallon 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. 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
short tons per gallon = ounces per gallon × 0.00003125
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 short ton per gallon equals 239652.854634 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct ounce per gallon-to-short ton per gallon factor of 0.00003125.
Simple example
1 oz/gal × 0.00003125 = 0.00003125 ton/gal
1 ounce per gallon = 0.00003125 short tons per gallon.
Real-world example
1,000 oz/gal × 0.00003125 = 0.03125 ton/gal
1,000 ounces per gallon = 0.03125 short tons per gallon.

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.
