About Converting Pounds per Oil barrel to Carats per Gallon
Pound per Oil barrel and Carat 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
carats per gallon = pounds per oil barrel × 53.9990916667
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 pound per oil barrel equals 2.85301017421 base units, and 1 carat per gallon equals 0.0528344104716 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct pound per oil barrel-to-carat per gallon factor of 53.9990916667.
Simple example
1 lb/bbl × 53.99909167 = 53.99909167 ct/gal
