About Converting Slugs per Gallon to Short tons per Oil barrel
Slug per 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 gallon × 0.675655019685
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 slug per gallon equals 3855.30129084 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 gallon-to-short ton per oil barrel factor of 0.675655019685.
Simple example
1 slug/gal × 0.6756550197 = 0.6756550197 ton/bbl
1 slug per gallon = 0.6756550197 short tons per oil barrel.
Real-world example
1,000 slug/gal × 0.6756550197 = 675.6550197 ton/bbl
1,000 slugs per gallon = 675.6550197 short tons per oil barrel.

What is a slug per gallon?
Slug per Gallon (slug/gal) is a unit of density.
What is a short ton per oil barrel?
Short ton per Oil barrel (ton/bbl) is a unit of density.
Is the slug per gallon to short ton per oil barrel conversion exact?
