About Converting Slugs per Oil barrel to Short tons per Oil barrel
Slug per Oil barrel 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 = slugs per oil barrel × 0.0160870242782
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 short ton per oil barrel equals 5706.02034842 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct slug per oil barrel-to-short ton per oil barrel factor of 0.0160870242782.
Simple example
1 slug/bbl × 0.01608702428 = 0.0160870243 ton/bbl
1 slug per oil barrel = 0.0160870243 short tons per oil barrel.
Real-world example
1,000 slug/bbl × 0.01608702428 = 16.08702428 ton/bbl
1,000 slugs per oil barrel = 16.08702428 short tons per oil barrel.
