8.345 lbs/gal (US)

How to Convert g/mL to lbs/gal

The gram per milliliter (g/mL) is a common metric unit for liquid density, while pounds per US gallon (lbs/gal) is the equivalent unit used in the United States for fuels, paints, and other industrial liquids sold by volume.

The Conversion Formula

To convert a measurement from g/mL to lbs/gal (US), simply multiply the value by 8.3454:

To convert from lbs/gal to g/mL, perform the inverse operation, multiplying by 0.1198:

Practical Examples

• 1 g/mL ≈ 8.35 lbs/gal (density of water)
• 0.68 g/mL ≈ 5.68 lbs/gal (typical density of gasoline)
• 0.85 g/mL ≈ 7.09 lbs/gal (typical density of diesel)
• 1.4 g/mL ≈ 11.68 lbs/gal (dense industrial liquid)

When This Conversion Is Needed

This conversion is widely used in the fuel, paint, and chemical industries in the United States, where liquid products are commonly sold and measured by the gallon, but technical and safety data sheets often originate from international sources using metric g/mL values.
