About Ounces per US gallon
The ounce per US gallon (oz/gal US) equals ≈7.489 kg/m³, combining the avoirdupois ounce (28.349 g) and the US liquid gallon (3.785 L). Used in US brewing and beverage production for measuring dissolved solids in wort and syrup; homebrewing grain-to-water ratios are often cited in oz/gal. 1 oz/gal (US) ≈7.489 kg/m³ = (1/16) lb/gal (US).
About Pounds per cubic inch
The pound per cubic inch (lb/in³) equals ≈27 679.9 kg/m³, the standard US customary unit for engineering material density. Mechanical engineering handbooks list metals in lb/in³: steel 0.284, aluminium 0.098, copper 0.324, tungsten 0.697, lead 0.410. FEA software (ANSYS, Nastran) configured with US unit sets reads material density as lb/in³. 1 lb/in³ = 1728 lb/ft³ = 16 oz/in³ ≈27 679.9 kg/m³.
