About Converting Short tons per Cubic foot to Short tons per Oil barrel
Short ton per Cubic foot and Short ton 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
short tons per oil barrel = short tons per cubic foot × 5.61458333333
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 short ton per cubic foot equals 32036.9267479 base units, and 1 short ton per oil barrel equals 5706.02034842 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct short ton per cubic foot-to-short ton per oil barrel factor of 5.61458333333.
