About Converting Metric tons per Imperial gallon to Long tons per Gallon
Metric ton per Imperial gallon and Long 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
long tons per gallon = metric tons per imperial gallon × 0.819523367885
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 metric ton per imperial gallon equals 219969.248299 base units, and 1 long ton per gallon equals 268411.19719 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct metric ton per imperial gallon-to-long ton per gallon factor of 0.819523367885.
Simple example
1 t/imp gal × 0.8195233679 = 0.8195233679 long ton/gal
1 metric ton per imperial gallon = 0.8195233679 long tons per gallon.
Real-world example
1,000 t/imp gal × 0.8195233679 = 819.5233679 long ton/gal
1,000 metric tons per imperial gallon = 819.5233679 long tons per gallon.

What is a metric ton per imperial gallon?
Metric ton per Imperial gallon (t/imp gal) is a unit of density.
What is a long ton per gallon?
Long ton per Gallon (long ton/gal) is a unit of density.
Is the metric ton per imperial gallon to long ton per gallon conversion exact?
Yes. Both metric ton per imperial gallon and long ton per gallon are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.8195233679 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.
