About Converting Troy ounces per Tablespoon to Pounds per Gallon
Troy ounce per Tablespoon and Pound 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
pounds per gallon = troy ounces per tablespoon × 17.5542857143
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 troy ounce per tablespoon equals 2103.46734124 base units, and 1 pound per gallon equals 119.826427317 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct troy ounce per tablespoon-to-pound per gallon factor of 17.5542857143.
Simple example
1 oz t/tbsp × 17.55428571 = 17.55428571 lb/gal
1 troy ounce per tablespoon = 17.55428571 pounds per gallon.
Real-world example
1,000 oz t/tbsp × 17.55428571 = 17,554.28571 lb/gal
1,000 troy ounces per tablespoon = 17,554.28571 pounds per gallon.

Understanding the Troy ounce per Tablespoon (oz t/tbsp)
Mass per volume density.
Understanding the Pound per Gallon
Pound per Gallon (lb/gal) measures density. The US customary unit for liquid density, based on the US gallon (231 cubic inches). It is classified as a US customary density unit.
Where it's used: United States (paint, fuel, and industrial liquid density specifications)
lb/gal vs. lb/ft³. Both are US customary density units; they're related through the real, fixed relationship between the US gallon and the cubic foot (1 cubic foot ≈ 7.48 US gallons), not a round conversion factor.
Uses of the Pound per Gallon today
