About Converting Pounds per Oil barrel to Grams per Imperial gallon
Pound per Oil barrel and Gram per Imperial 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
grams per imperial gallon = pounds per oil barrel × 12.9700410229
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 gram per imperial gallon equals 0.219969248299 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct pound per oil barrel-to-gram per imperial gallon factor of 12.9700410229.
Simple example
1 lb/bbl × 12.97004102 = 12.97004102 g/imp gal
1 pound per oil barrel = 12.97004102 grams per imperial gallon.
Real-world example
1,000 lb/bbl × 12.97004102 = 12,970.04102 g/imp gal
1,000 pounds per oil barrel = 12,970.04102 grams per imperial gallon.
