What units does this converter handle?

It converts density from ounce per cubic foot (oz/ft³) to pound per UK gallon (lb/gal UK), both Imperial units used in different measurement contexts.

Can this converter be used for liquids and solids?

While ounce per cubic foot typically measures solids, and pound per UK gallon measures liquids, this converter translates values between these units but users should ensure the material states are compatible.

Is the conversion exact for scientific precision?

The conversion provides an approximate engineering-level value. Small rounding differences exist, so it may not suit strict scientific accuracy requirements.

What Is This Tool?

This converter enables users to translate density values from ounce per cubic foot, commonly used in US customary and construction contexts, to pound per UK gallon, a standard for liquids in British and Imperial engineering. It bridges density units for materials and fluids across different Imperial measurement systems.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the density value in ounce per cubic foot (oz/ft³)
Select ounce/cubic foot as the source unit and pound/gallon (UK) as the target unit
Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent density in pound per UK gallon
Use the result for engineering, construction, or industrial documentation needs

Key Features

Converts density from ounce/cubic foot to pound/gallon (UK) using an exact conversion factor
Supports engineering and construction applications involving insulation, packing, and fluids
Browser-based and easy to use for quick density unit translation
Handles unit conversion for mass per volume measurements across US and UK Imperial systems

Examples

Convert 10 oz/ft³ resulting in 0.100339783 lb/gal (UK)
Convert 50 oz/ft³ resulting in 0.501698915 lb/gal (UK)

Common Use Cases

Specifying bulk density of lightweight building materials like fiberglass and loose-fill cellulose in construction documents
Characterizing packaging materials such as foam for logistics and material selection
Reporting densities on HVAC, material-handling, and industrial data sheets using Imperial units
Estimating densities of fuels, lubricants, and petroleum products for UK engineering documents
Calculating mass of liquid cargo or storage when volumes are given in UK gallons
Documenting concentrations or specific gravities of industrial process liquids in British contexts

Tips & Best Practices

Confirm the physical state of the material since ounce/cubic foot commonly applies to solids and pound/gallon (UK) to liquids
Use the conversion for engineering-level estimates rather than precise scientific measurement
Consult the conversion factor of 1 oz/ft³ = 0.0100339783 lb/gal (UK) to ensure accurate calculation
Double-check unit consistency in mixed Imperial system documentation to avoid errors

Limitations

Conversion is typically valid when changing density units from solids/intermediate materials to liquids and may not apply if physical states differ
Rounding differences could occur due to unit definitions; results should be considered approximate
Usage is best suited for construction, logistics, and industrial contexts rather than exact scientific experiments
