About US gallons per pound
The US gallon per pound (gal (US)/lb) equals 0.003785411784 / 0.45359237 ≈0.0083454 m³/kg, used in American chemical process engineering. Specific volume of cooling water and process fluids is cited in gal (US)/lb in pre-metric Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook tables. 1 gal (US)/lb ≈0.0083454 m³/kg ≈8.345 L/kg.
About Cubic metres per tonne
The cubic metre per tonne (m³/t) equals 10⁻³ m³/kg, coincidentally equal to L/kg and cm³/g, preferred in bulk-material handling, geotechnical engineering, and quarrying. Swell factor tables for excavated rock list specific volume in m³/t: solid granite ≈0.37 m³/t, blasted rock ≈0.45 m³/t. International shipping designates cargo stowage factors in m³/t. 1 m³/t = 10⁻³ m³/kg = 1 L/kg.
