What does psi/1000 feet measure?

Psi/1000 feet represents the change in pressure in pounds-force per square inch for each 1,000 feet of vertical depth, used to reflect hydrostatic pressure gradients linked to fluid density.

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

Converting allows translating pressure-gradient densities into mass per volume units used in UK engineering, facilitating fuel, lubricant, and petroleum product specifications.

Are there factors affecting conversion accuracy?

Yes, variations in gravity, fluid properties, and local geological conditions can influence the accuracy of the conversion.
