About Converting Short tons per Oil barrel to Slugs per Oil barrel
Short ton per Oil barrel 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 = short tons per oil barrel × 62.1619003432
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 short ton per oil barrel equals 5706.02034842 base units, and 1 slug per oil barrel equals 91.792887877 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct short ton per oil barrel-to-slug per oil barrel factor of 62.1619003432.
Simple example
1 ton/bbl × 62.16190034 = 62.16190034 slug/bbl
1 short ton per oil barrel = 62.16190034 slugs per oil barrel.
Real-world example
1,000 ton/bbl × 62.16190034 = 62,161.90034 slug/bbl
1,000 short tons per oil barrel = 62,161.90034 slugs per oil barrel.
