What Is This Tool?
This converter helps transform density measurements from ounce per cubic inch (oz/in^3) to pound per UK gallon, facilitating unit conversion between U.S. customary and British imperial systems.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the density value in ounce per cubic inch (oz/in^3).
-
Select the target unit as pound per gallon (UK).
-
Click convert to get the equivalent density in pound/gallon (UK).
Key Features
-
Converts density values between oz/in^3 and pound/gallon (UK).
-
Supports applications in engineering, manufacturing, and chemical processing.
-
Browser-based and easy to use without installation.
Examples
-
Convert 2 oz/in^3 to pound/gallon (UK): 2 × 17.3387 = 34.6774 pound/gallon (UK).
-
Convert 0.5 oz/in^3 to pound/gallon (UK): 0.5 × 17.3387 = 8.6694 pound/gallon (UK).
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying densities of metals, plastics, and foams in U.S. engineering drawings.
-
Calculating mass of liquid cargo measured in Imperial gallons in UK contexts.
-
Converting material densities for petroleum and chemical industry documentation.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Double-check the units before and after conversion to ensure accuracy.
-
Use consistent temperature and pressure conditions for volume measurements.
-
Apply this conversion only for density measurements, not for related properties like specific gravity.
Limitations
-
Assumes standard avoirdupois ounce and UK gallon definitions without environmental adjustments.
-
Does not account for temperature or pressure variations influencing volume.
-
Conversion is specific to density units and not applicable for other related measurements.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does ounce per cubic inch measure?
-
It measures density as mass in ounces per volume in cubic inches commonly used in U.S. engineering contexts.
-
Where is pound per UK gallon density used?
-
It is commonly used for fuels, lubricants, and liquids in UK and Imperial engineering documents.
-
Is this conversion exact under all conditions?
-
No, it assumes standard unit definitions and does not consider temperature or pressure effects.
