About Converting Slugs per Oil barrel to Pounds per Imperial gallon
Slug per Oil barrel and Pound 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.
Formula
pounds per imperial gallon = slugs per oil barrel × 0.919986219453
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 slug per oil barrel equals 91.792887877 base units, and 1 pound per imperial gallon equals 99.7763726631 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct slug per oil barrel-to-pound per imperial gallon factor of 0.919986219453.
Simple example
1 slug/bbl × 0.9199862195 = 0.9199862195 lb/imp gal
1 slug per oil barrel = 0.9199862195 pounds per imperial gallon.
Real-world example
1,000 slug/bbl × 0.9199862195 = 919.9862195 lb/imp gal
1,000 slugs per oil barrel = 919.9862195 pounds per imperial gallon.
