About Converting Short tons per Imperial gallon to Imperial hundredweights per Imperial gallon

Short ton per Imperial gallon and Imperial hundredweight per Imperial 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.
