About Converting Metric tons per Oil barrel to Short tons per Imperial gallon
Metric ton per Oil barrel and Short ton per Imperial 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 imperial gallon = metric tons per oil barrel × 0.0315195401604
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 metric ton per oil barrel equals 6289.81077043 base units, and 1 short ton per imperial gallon equals 199552.745326 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct metric ton per oil barrel-to-short ton per imperial gallon factor of 0.0315195401604.
Simple example
1 t/bbl × 0.03151954016 = 0.0315195402 ton/imp gal
1 metric ton per oil barrel = 0.0315195402 short tons per imperial gallon.
Real-world example
1,000 t/bbl × 0.03151954016 = 31.51954016 ton/imp gal
1,000 metric tons per oil barrel = 31.51954016 short tons per imperial gallon.
