About Converting Pounds per Imperial gallon to Megagrams per Oil barrel
Pound per Imperial gallon and Megagram 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
megagrams per oil barrel = pounds per imperial gallon × 0.0158631755874
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 megagram per oil barrel equals 6289.81077043 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct pound per imperial gallon-to-megagram per oil barrel factor of 0.0158631755874.
Simple example
1 lb/imp gal × 0.01586317559 = 0.0158631756 Mg/bbl
1 pound per imperial gallon = 0.0158631756 megagrams per oil barrel.
Real-world example
1,000 lb/imp gal × 0.01586317559 = 15.86317559 Mg/bbl
1,000 pounds per imperial gallon = 15.86317559 megagrams per oil barrel.
