About Converting Slugs per Cubic yard to Short tons per Oil barrel
Slug per Cubic yard 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 cubic yard × 0.00334525697761
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 slug per cubic yard equals 19.0881043849 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 cubic yard-to-short ton per oil barrel factor of 0.00334525697761.
Simple example
1 slug/yd3 × 0.003345256978 = 0.003345257 ton/bbl
1 slug per cubic yard = 0.003345257 short tons per oil barrel.
Real-world example
1,000 slug/yd3 × 0.003345256978 = 3.345256978 ton/bbl
1,000 slugs per cubic yard = 3.345256978 short tons per oil barrel.
