About Converting Pounds per Fluid ounce to Short tons per Oil barrel
Pound per Fluid ounce and Short ton 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
short tons per oil barrel = pounds per fluid ounce × 2.688
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 pound per fluid ounce equals 15337.7826966 base units, and 1 short ton per oil barrel equals 5706.02034842 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct pound per fluid ounce-to-short ton per oil barrel factor of 2.688.
Simple example
1 lb/fl oz × 2.688 = 2.688 ton/bbl
