About Converting Pounds per Cup to Imperial hundredweights per Oil barrel
Pound per Cup and Imperial hundredweight per Oil barrel 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
imperial hundredweights per oil barrel = pounds per cup × 6
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 pound per cup equals 1917.22283707 base units, and 1 imperial hundredweight per oil barrel equals 319.537139512 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct pound per cup-to-imperial hundredweight per oil barrel factor of 6.
Simple example
1 lb/cup × 6 = 6 long cwt/bbl
1 pound per cup = 6 imperial hundredweights per oil barrel.
Real-world example
1,000 lb/cup × 6 = 6,000 long cwt/bbl
1,000 pounds per cup = 6,000 imperial hundredweights per oil barrel.

What is a pound per cup?
Pound per Cup (lb/cup) is a unit of density.
What is a imperial hundredweight per oil barrel?
Imperial hundredweight per Oil barrel (long cwt/bbl) is a unit of density.
Is the pound per cup to imperial hundredweight per oil barrel conversion exact?
Yes. Both pound per cup and imperial hundredweight per oil barrel are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 6 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
