About Converting Pounds per Oil barrel to Drams per Cubic foot
Pound per Oil barrel and Dram per Cubic foot 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
drams per cubic foot = pounds per oil barrel × 45.5955473098
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 dram per cubic foot equals 0.0625721225545 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct pound per oil barrel-to-dram per cubic foot factor of 45.5955473098.
Simple example
1 lb/bbl × 45.59554731 = 45.59554731 dr/ft3
1 pound per oil barrel = 45.59554731 drams per cubic foot.
