About Converting Pounds per Imperial gallon to Kilograms per Oil barrel
Pound per Imperial gallon and Kilogram 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
kilograms per oil barrel = pounds per imperial gallon × 15.8631755874
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 pound per imperial gallon equals 99.7763726631 base units, and 1 kilogram per oil barrel equals 6.28981077043 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct pound per imperial gallon-to-kilogram per oil barrel factor of 15.8631755874.
Simple example
1 lb/imp gal × 15.86317559 = 15.86317559 kg/bbl
1 pound per imperial gallon = 15.86317559 kilograms per oil barrel.
