About Converting Pounds per Imperial gallon to Metric tons per Liter
Pound per Imperial gallon and Metric ton per Liter 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
metric tons per liter = pounds per imperial gallon × 0.0000997763726631
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 metric ton per liter equals 1000000 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct pound per imperial gallon-to-metric ton per liter factor of 0.0000997763726631.
Simple example
1 lb/imp gal × 0.00009977637266 = 0.0000997764 t/L
1 pound per imperial gallon = 0.0000997764 metric tons per liter.
Real-world example
1,000 lb/imp gal × 0.00009977637266 = 0.0997763727 t/L
1,000 pounds per imperial gallon = 0.0997763727 metric tons per liter.

What is a pound per imperial gallon?
Pound per Imperial gallon (lb/imp gal) is a unit of density.
What is a metric ton per liter?
Metric ton per Liter (t/L) is a unit of density.
Is the pound per imperial gallon to metric ton per liter conversion exact?
Yes. Both pound per imperial gallon and metric ton per liter are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.00009977637266 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between density and mass concentration?
Density is the mass of a pure substance or material per unit volume. Mass concentration is the mass of one component — like a dissolved solute — within a mixture's total volume. The two use the same kind of units but describe different physical situations.
