About Pounds per UK gallon
The pound per UK gallon (lb/gal UK) equals ≈99.776 kg/m³, based on the avoirdupois pound and the UK gallon (4.54609 L). Used historically in British petroleum refining and Admiralty fuel specifications; the original UK specific-gravity tables reference lb/gal UK. Still encountered in some Commonwealth marine and aviation standards. 1 lb/gal (UK) ≈99.776 kg/m³ ≈6.228 lb/ft³.
About Tonnes per cubic metre
The tonne per cubic metre (t/m³) equals 1000 kg/m³, coincident with g/cm³ and kg/L. Geotechnical engineering specifies bulk unit weights in t/m³: saturated clay 1.8-2.2 t/m³, dry sand 1.4-1.7 t/m³, reinforced concrete 2.4-2.5 t/m³. Bulk-material handling uses t/m³ for conveyor and silo capacity calculations, yielding mass in tonnes directly from volume in m³. 1 t/m³ = 1000 kg/m³ = 1 g/cm³.
