About Converting Pounds per Imperial gallon to Slugs per Oil barrel
Pound per Imperial gallon and Slug 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
slugs per oil barrel = pounds per imperial gallon × 1.08697280335
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 slug per oil barrel equals 91.792887877 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct pound per imperial gallon-to-slug per oil barrel factor of 1.08697280335.
