About Converting Metric tons per Gallon to Long tons per Imperial gallon
Metric ton per Gallon and Long 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
long tons per imperial gallon = metric tons per gallon × 1.18198275602
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 metric ton per gallon equals 264172.052358 base units, and 1 long ton per imperial gallon equals 223499.074765 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct metric ton per gallon-to-long ton per imperial gallon factor of 1.18198275602.
Simple example
1 t/gal × 1.181982756 = 1.181982756 long ton/imp gal
1 metric ton per gallon = 1.181982756 long tons per imperial gallon.
Real-world example
1,000 t/gal × 1.181982756 = 1,181.982756 long ton/imp gal
1,000 metric tons per gallon = 1,181.982756 long tons per imperial gallon.

What is a metric ton per gallon?
Metric ton per Gallon (t/gal) is a unit of density.
What is a long ton per imperial gallon?
Long ton per Imperial gallon (long ton/imp gal) is a unit of density.
Is the metric ton per gallon to long ton per imperial gallon conversion exact?
Yes. Both metric ton per gallon and long ton per imperial gallon are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1.181982756 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.
