How to Calculate Tons to Gallons

The Tons to Gallons Calculator converts weight in tons to volume in US and UK gallons based on density and ton unit. The formulas are:

Where:

• Tons: Weight in selected ton unit.
• Factor: 1000 (Metric), 907.185 (Short US), 1016.047 (Long Imperial).
• Density: In kg/m³.

Enter tons, select ton unit, substance or custom density to calculate.

Formula source: Standard density-based volume conversions.

Using the Tons to Gallons Calculator

This calculator is useful for converting mass to volume for liquids like fuels and chemicals.

Input tons, select ton unit, substance (predefined density) or custom and enter density. Computes US and UK gallons.

Example: For 1 short ton of water (density 998 kg/m³):

1. Tons: 1
2. Ton Unit: Short Ton (US)
3. Substance: Water
4. Mass kg: 1 × 907.185 ≈ 907.185
5. Volume m³: 907.185 / 998 ≈ 0.909
6. US Gallons: 0.909 × 264.172 ≈ 240.00
7. UK Gallons: 0.909 × 219.969 ≈ 200.00
8. Result: 240.00 US gallons, 200.00 UK gallons

Common FAQ

Below are frequently asked questions about Tons to Gallons calculations:

• Q: What are the different ton units?
  A: Metric Ton (1000 kg), Short Ton US (907.185 kg), Long Ton Imperial (1016.047 kg).
• Q: Why different US and UK gallons?
  A: US gallon = 3.785 L, UK gallon = 4.546 L.
• Q: What if custom density?
  A: Select Custom and enter density in kg/m³.
