About Converting Slugs per Oil barrel to Short tons per Cubic yard
Slug per Oil barrel and Short ton per Cubic yard 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 cubic yard = slugs per oil barrel × 0.077360977605
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 cubic yard equals 1186.55284252 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct slug per oil barrel-to-short ton per cubic yard factor of 0.077360977605.
Simple example
1 slug/bbl × 0.07736097761 = 0.0773609776 ton/yd3
1 slug per oil barrel = 0.0773609776 short tons per cubic yard.
Real-world example
1,000 slug/bbl × 0.07736097761 = 77.36097761 ton/yd3
1,000 slugs per oil barrel = 77.36097761 short tons per cubic yard.
