About Converting Slugs per Imperial gallon to Short tons per Oil barrel
Slug per Imperial gallon 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 imperial gallon × 0.562600492606
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 slug per imperial gallon equals 3210.20985885 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 imperial gallon-to-short ton per oil barrel factor of 0.562600492606.
Simple example
1 slug/imp gal × 0.5626004926 = 0.5626004926 ton/bbl
1 slug per imperial gallon = 0.5626004926 short tons per oil barrel.
Real-world example
1,000 slug/imp gal × 0.5626004926 = 562.6004926 ton/bbl
