SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on converting costs from USD per kilogram to USD per gallon for two liquids with specific gravities. Liquid A costs 1416 USD/gallon with a specific gravity of 1.35, while Liquid B costs 120 USD/kg with a specific gravity of 1.67. The conversion process involves adjusting the kilogram price to a gallon price using the specific gravity and the conversion factor of 1 gallon being approximately 3.785 liters. Participants emphasized the importance of accounting for specific gravity and temperature for accurate conversions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of specific gravity and its impact on volume conversions
  • Familiarity with unit conversion between kilograms and gallons
  • Basic knowledge of liquid density and its relevance in cost calculations
  • Awareness of temperature effects on liquid density
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to calculate costs using specific gravity in liquid conversions
  • Learn about the impact of temperature on liquid density and conversion accuracy
  • Explore advanced unit conversion techniques for various liquids
  • Study the differences between metric and imperial measurement systems
USEFUL FOR

Individuals involved in chemical engineering, logistics, or any field requiring precise liquid cost conversions, as well as those working with liquid commodities in trade and pricing strategies.

Hello,

How do i convert USD/kg to USD/gallon? pl help

Liquid A:
Cost=1416 USD/gallon
Specific Gravity=1.35

Liquid B:
Cost=120 USD/Kg
Specific Gravity=1.67

Thank you

If it was water (specific gravity = 1), then 1 kg = 1 liter, and since 1 gallon ≈ 3,785 liter, that's
120 USD/kg = 120 UDS/liter = 454 UDS/gallon

I'll let you make the adjustment for the specific gravity of liquid B.

I think you're off by a factor of 1000 on that conversion of gallons to liters. 1 gallon is about 4 liters.

That was a European "decimal point" :wink:
 
You may have to account for the temperature of the liquid depending on how precise your conversion needs to be.

In his first post, the OP specified the required density values.
