About Converting Short tons per Imperial gallon to Megagrams per Oil barrel
Short ton per Imperial gallon and Megagram 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
megagrams per oil barrel = short tons per imperial gallon × 31.7263511749
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 short ton per imperial gallon equals 199552.745326 base units, and 1 megagram per oil barrel equals 6289.81077043 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct short ton per imperial gallon-to-megagram per oil barrel factor of 31.7263511749.
Simple example
1 ton/imp gal × 31.72635117 = 31.72635117 Mg/bbl
1 short ton per imperial gallon = 31.72635117 megagrams per oil barrel.
Real-world example
1,000 ton/imp gal × 31.72635117 = 31,726.35117 Mg/bbl
1,000 short tons per imperial gallon = 31,726.35117 megagrams per oil barrel.

How do I convert megagram per oil barrel back to short ton per imperial gallon?
Use the reverse factor: 1 megagram per oil barrel equals 0.0315195402 short tons per imperial gallon. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a short ton per imperial gallon?
Short ton per Imperial gallon (ton/imp gal) is a unit of density.
What is a megagram per oil barrel?
Megagram per Oil barrel (Mg/bbl) is a unit of density.
Is the short ton per imperial gallon to megagram per oil barrel conversion exact?
Yes. Both short ton per imperial gallon and megagram per oil barrel are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 31.72635117 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.
