For this I will use water as the unit of measure.
Based on the lbs per gallon of water @ 4 degrees Celsius which is 8.33
8.33 is a specific gravity of 1
The equation to determine lbs per gallon using a basis of water
lbs per gal = (sg * 8.33)
So if you have 0.8349 as your specific gravity:
(0.8349 * 8.33) = 6.954717 (lbs per gal)
The equation to convert pounds to gallons of a different fluid that has a variable specific gravity would be: gallons = lbs / (sg * 8.33)
If I have 5 pounds of a lubricant with a SG of 1.2
5 / (1.2 * 8.33) = 0.5 (gallons)

The Formula for convert API gravity to pounds per gallon is: Pounds per Gallon = (141.5/(API Gavity+131.5))*8.3378 <--[which is weight of fresh water] API of 10 is same as weight of water. API >10 will float
The following product has a specific gravity of 0.875:Valvoline VV353 Automatic Transmission Fluid DEXRONIII /MERCONThis means that the weight of it is 0.875 times that of an equal volume of water. Water weighs 8.34 pounds per gallon, therefore one gallon of the product mentioned above weighs 7.2975 pounds. Most transmission fluids have a similar specific gravity.
That depends on the type material you are referring to. Also, these are two different types of measurements. One is volume the other is weight or mass. Please edit your question to include more context or details.
6.7something depending on atmospheric pressure (colder / higher pressure air, SG gets higher) Avgas 100LL is about 6.0 pounds per gallon at about 60 degrees F. And at sealevel.
Fuel oil (diesel, home heating oil) has a specific gravity of about 0.8. Heavy bunker fuels can be closer to 1.0. The weight of a US gallon of oil can then range between 6.4 lb and 8 lb.
start with known values Specific gravity = 1.0 for water weight = 100 pounds 100pounds/8.36 pounds per gallon = 11.96 gallons ------------------------------------ Specific gravity = 1.5 for unknown liquid weight = 100 pounds 100pounds/ (8.36 pounds per gallon of water * 1.5) = 7.97 gallons At least that's how I wuold do it....
The weight of a barrel of oil will depend on its density. A barrel contains 42 gallons and density is typically measured in units of API gravity. Units can be a bit confusing in this case. We need to convert from API density to pounds per gallon. Crude oil can typically vary from 15 to 45 deg API although I have worked with oils as low as 8 and as high as 50. Let us consider oil gravity of 30 deg API, as all other densities are calculated in the same way. Specific Gravity = 141.5/(131.5 + 30) = 0.876 The specific gravity is the density of the oil relative to water. Now, to convert this to pounds per gallon, we must multiply the answer by 8.34 (density of water is 8.33 pounds per gallon): 8.34 x 0.876 = 7.30 pounds/gallon. Since there are 42 gallons in a barrel, we must multiply this answer by 42: 42 x 7.30 = 307 pounds. To summarize, a) convert API to specific density b) convert specific density to pounds per gallon and c) multiply gallons in one barrel by the pounds per gallon.

1 gallon of water weighs 8.3333 pounds. However, the weight depends upon the specific gravity of the liquid you are measuring.

A gallon of gasoline weighs approximately six and one half pounds. This is using a specific gravity of .77 although lighter specific gravity could be used, between .71 to .77.

20 degree Baume HCl has a specific gravity of 1.16, so its weight per gallon is 9.66 (pounds per gallon).
You've got to know the weight of the liquid for this to be an accurate conversion. If you just use the weight of water, that's 8.34 pounds/gallon. So if you have a 5 gallon (g) water jug you're filling up, that will weight 5 x 8.34 pounds or 41.7 pounds. g x 8.34 = pounds What if you're wanting the weight of sulfuric acid which has a specific gravity (sg) of 1.84 or 1.84 times that of water, then just multiply your pounds times the specific gravity. g x 8.34 x sg = pounds
Liquid asphalt has a specific gravity range from 0.98 to 1.02. Typically, a specific gravity of 1.0 is used. This can vary with the type of asphalt and the temperature of the asphalt. A specific gravity of 1.0 is the same as water measured at the reference temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit. This specific gravity of 1.0 corresponds to a density (or specific weight) of 1 gram per cubic centimeter (1 g/cm3) or 62.4 pounds per cubic foot (62.4 lb/ft3) or 8.34 pounds per gallon (8.34 lb/gal)
1 gallon of jet fuel weighs 6.79 pounds.
