What does psi/1000 feet measure?

Psi per 1000 feet measures the pressure gradient, indicating the change in pounds-force per square inch for every 1,000 feet of depth, often related to fluid density in drilling contexts.

Why convert psi/1000 feet to ounce/gallon (UK)?

This conversion translates pressure-gradient data into a mass-to-volume density unit used in UK imperial measurement systems, useful for comparing drilling fluid densities and interpreting older technical specifications.

Can this converter be used for non-petroleum fluids?

While designed for petroleum and wellbore engineering, the tool can assist with any density data expressed in the given units, especially when dealing with fuels or lubricating oils in UK contexts.
