About Converting Metric tons per Imperial gallon to Short tons per Oil barrel
Metric ton per Imperial 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 = metric tons per imperial gallon × 38.5503792253
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 short ton per oil barrel equals 5706.02034842 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct metric ton per imperial gallon-to-short ton per oil barrel factor of 38.5503792253.
Simple example
1 t/imp gal × 38.55037923 = 38.55037923 ton/bbl
