About Converting Stones per Gallon to Short tons per Oil barrel
Stone 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 = stones per gallon × 0.294
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 stone per gallon equals 1677.56998244 base units, and 1 short ton per oil barrel equals 5706.02034842 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct stone per gallon-to-short ton per oil barrel factor of 0.294.
Simple example
1 st/gal × 0.294 = 0.294 ton/bbl
1 stone per gallon = 0.294 short tons per oil barrel.
Real-world example
1,000 st/gal × 0.294 = 294 ton/bbl
1,000 stones per gallon = 294 short tons per oil barrel.

What is a stone per gallon?
Stone per Gallon (st/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 stone per gallon to short ton per oil barrel conversion exact?
Yes. Both stone per gallon and short ton per oil barrel are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.294 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between density and mass concentration?
Density is the mass of a pure substance or material per unit volume. Mass concentration is the mass of one component — like a dissolved solute — within a mixture's total volume. The two use the same kind of units but describe different physical situations.
