About Converting Pounds per Teaspoon to Kilograms per Gallon
Pound per Teaspoon and Kilogram per Gallon 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 gallon = pounds per teaspoon × 348.35894016
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 pound per teaspoon equals 92026.6961794 base units, and 1 kilogram per gallon equals 264.172052358 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct pound per teaspoon-to-kilogram per gallon factor of 348.35894016.
Simple example
1 lb/tsp × 348.3589402 = 348.3589402 kg/gal
1 pound per teaspoon = 348.3589402 kilograms per gallon.
Real-world example
1,000 lb/tsp × 348.3589402 = 348,358.9402 kg/gal
1,000 pounds per teaspoon = 348,358.9402 kilograms per gallon.

Mass per volume density.
Understanding the Kilogram per Gallon
Kilogram per Gallon (kg/gal) measures density. A mathematically valid way to express liquid density in kilograms per US gallon. It is classified as a mixed metric/US customary density unit.
Uses of the Kilogram per Gallon today
- Can be used to express liquid density such as fuel or industrial liquids in kilograms per gallon — in practice, kilograms per liter (metric) and pounds per gallon (US customary) are the specific pairings more commonly seen in fuel and liquid-density references
Kilogram per Gallon — sources
- Fuel and petroleum liquid-density references — Liquid density figures for fuels are typically reported in kg/L, kg/m³, or lb/gal rather than kg/gal.

Frequently asked questions
How many kilograms per gallon are in 1 pound per teaspoon?
1 pound per teaspoon equals 348.3589402 kilograms per gallon, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert pound per teaspoon to kilogram per gallon?
Multiply the pound per teaspoon value by 348.3589402. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert kilogram per gallon back to pound per teaspoon?
Use the reverse factor: 1 kilogram per gallon equals 0.0028706024 pounds per teaspoon. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a pound per teaspoon?
Pound per Teaspoon (lb/tsp) is a unit of density.
What is a kilogram per gallon?
Kilogram per Gallon (kg/gal) measures density. A mathematically valid way to express liquid density in kilograms per US gallon. It is classified as a mixed metric/US customary density unit.
Is the pound per teaspoon to kilogram per gallon conversion exact?
Yes. Both pound per teaspoon and kilogram per gallon are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 348.3589402 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.
