About Converting Pounds per Oil barrel to Drams per Gallon
Pound per Oil barrel and Dram 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
drams per gallon = pounds per oil barrel × 6.09523809524
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 gallon equals 0.468071981707 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct pound per oil barrel-to-dram per gallon factor of 6.09523809524.
Simple example
1 lb/bbl × 6.095238095 = 6.095238095 dr/gal
1 pound per oil barrel = 6.095238095 drams per gallon.
Real-world example
1,000 lb/bbl × 6.095238095 = 6,095.238095 dr/gal
1,000 pounds per oil barrel = 6,095.238095 drams per gallon.
