About Converting Slugs per Imperial gallon to Short tons per Gallon
Slug per Imperial gallon and Short ton per 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
short tons per gallon = slugs per imperial gallon × 0.013395249824
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 gallon equals 239652.854634 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct slug per imperial gallon-to-short ton per gallon factor of 0.013395249824.
