About Converting Pounds per Oil barrel to Stones per Gallon
Pound per Oil barrel and Stone 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
stones per gallon = pounds per oil barrel × 0.00170068027211
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 stone per gallon equals 1677.56998244 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct pound per oil barrel-to-stone per gallon factor of 0.00170068027211.
Simple example
1 lb/bbl × 0.001700680272 = 0.0017006803 st/gal
1 pound per oil barrel = 0.0017006803 stones per gallon.
Real-world example
1,000 lb/bbl × 0.001700680272 = 1.700680272 st/gal
1,000 pounds per oil barrel = 1.700680272 stones per gallon.
