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.
About Pounds per US gallon
The pound per US gallon (lb/gal US) equals ≈119.826 kg/m³, the standard density unit in US petroleum refining, drilling, and petrochemical industries. Water at 60°F is 8.337 lb/gal; diesel 6.8-7.3 lb/gal; medium crude oil 7.1-8.0 lb/gal. Drilling mud weight per API RP 13B is specified in lb/gal (US) to control wellbore pressure. 1 lb/gal (US) ≈119.826 kg/m³ ≈7.481 lb/ft³.
