Unit Description

Pound per Gallon (lb/gal)

Definition

Pound per gallon (lb/gal) is a unit of density expressing the mass in pounds contained in one gallon of volume. It's commonly used for measuring liquid densities in imperial systems, particularly in industrial and commercial applications.

History

The lb/gal unit developed from traditional English measurements and became important in industries dealing with liquids in countries using imperial units. It was particularly useful in petroleum, chemical, and food industries for measuring liquid product densities.

Current Use

Lb/gal is used in the United States for petroleum products, chemicals, food processing, and industrial liquids. It's standard in fuel specifications, chemical processing, brewing, and other industries dealing with liquid products in imperial measurements.

Pound per Cubic Yard (lb/yd³)

Definition

Pound per cubic yard (lb/yd³) is a unit of density expressing the mass in pounds contained in one cubic yard of volume. It's commonly used for measuring bulk materials and construction aggregates in large volumes.

History

The lb/yd³ unit developed from traditional English units and became important in construction and civil engineering in countries using imperial measurements. It provided a practical scale for measuring bulk materials like soil, gravel, and concrete in construction projects.

Current Use

Lb/yd³ is used in construction, civil engineering, and landscaping in the United States for measuring bulk density of soil, aggregate, concrete, and other construction materials. It's standard in construction specifications and material delivery calculations.
