Petroleum has a specific gravity of 0.88 which means 1 liter weighs 0.88 kilograms.

From the volume page we know that:

1 barrel [US, petroleum] = 158.9872972 liter

So 1 barrel weighs:

158.9872972 * 0.88 = 139.908821536 kilograms

1 metric ton is 1000 kilograms:

139.908821536 / 1000 = 7.1475121

So there are a little over 7 barrels of petroleum in a metric ton.

This is assuming that 0.88 is the correct specific gravity. Since as you said, the grade of the oil may make a difference. If you know the exact specific gravity of the oil in question, you will get more accurate results.

How us gallon in 1 metric ton of naphtha?

To convert metric tons of naphtha to US gallons, you need to know the density of naphtha, which is typically around 0.7 to 0.8 kg/L. Using an average density of 0.75 kg/L, 1 metric ton (1,000 kg) of naphtha would be approximately 1,333 liters. Since 1 US gallon is about 3.785 liters, this equals roughly 352 US gallons in 1 metric ton of naphtha.
