Examples

  • 2 pound/gallon (UK) is converted to 12.4577 pound/cubic foot [lb/ft^3]
  • 0.5 pound/gallon (UK) converts to 3.1144 pound/cubic foot [lb/ft^3]

Common Use Cases

  • Converting older UK or Commonwealth industrial specifications involving solution strengths
  • Reporting concentration levels of fuel oils, lubricants, and chemicals using imperial units
  • Agricultural formulations such as pesticide or fertilizer concentrations historically expressed in pounds per gallon
  • Determining fluid densities in HVAC and piping process calculations
  • Calculating bulk density of soils, aggregates, and other granular materials for civil engineering

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure correct usage of UK gallon rather than US gallon to avoid unit confusion
  • Apply this conversion primarily under standard temperature and pressure conditions
  • Use the tool for consistency when dealing with imperial unit specifications in industrial and engineering fields
  • Double-check values when mixing units from different measurement systems
  • Leverage the conversion tool to simplify and standardize solution strength reporting

Limitations

  • Conversion is specifically based on the imperial UK gallon, not applicable for US gallon or other volume units
  • Results assume standard temperature and pressure; variations may affect accuracy
  • Users must verify units carefully to prevent errors due to differences between UK and US pounds and gallons

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the definition of pound per UK gallon?
Pound per UK gallon indicates the mass of a substance in avoirdupois pounds contained in one imperial UK gallon of solution.

When should I use pound per cubic foot instead of pound per UK gallon?
Pound per cubic foot is often preferred for fluid density or bulk density in engineering calculations involving volumes measured in cubic feet.

Can I use this conversion for US gallons?
No, this conversion specifically applies to the UK imperial gallon and not the US gallon, which differs in volume.

Key Terminology

Pound/gallon (UK)
A mass concentration unit showing how many avoirdupois pounds exist in one imperial UK gallon of solution.
Pound/cubic foot [lb/ft^3]
An imperial unit expressing one pound of mass per one cubic foot of volume, used for density and mass concentration.
Imperial gallon (UK gallon)
A volume measurement unit defined as exactly 4.54609 liters, used in the United Kingdom and some Commonwealth countries.
