About Converting Pounds per Oil barrel to Megagrams per Gallon
Pound per Oil barrel and Megagram 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
megagrams per gallon = pounds per oil barrel × 0.0000107998183333
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 megagram per gallon equals 264172.052358 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct pound per oil barrel-to-megagram per gallon factor of 0.0000107998183333.
Simple example
1 lb/bbl × 0.00001079981833 = 0.0000107998 Mg/gal
1 pound per oil barrel = 0.0000107998 megagrams per gallon.
Real-world example
1,000 lb/bbl × 0.00001079981833 = 0.0107998183 Mg/gal
1,000 pounds per oil barrel = 0.0107998183 megagrams per gallon.
