Gallons to Tons Converter

To calculate the tons for a number of gallons, multiply the density (in tons per gallon) by the volume of substance (the number of gallons):

For example, let's see how many tons are in 28,000 US gallons of water, whose density is 0.0041727 US ton/US gal:

🙋 You must use the same type of tons and the same type of gallons across a formula. For example, you cannot use UK gallons for the density and US gallons for the volume.

To do the opposite and calculate the gallons for the tons of a substance, divide the mass by the density:

For example, let's find the gallons in 28 US tons of water:

You can input any density units in the gallons-to-tons converter, which will handle them properly. Alternatively, you'll need the density expressed in tons per gallon to use the formulas above.

To convert the density to US tons per US gallon, you can use the following conversion factors:

Density [ton/gal] = Density [kg/m³] × 4.1727 × 10⁻⁶

Density [ton/gal] = Density [lb/ft³] × 6.68403 × 10⁻⁵

Density [ton/gal] = Density [g/cm³] × 0.0041727

Density [ton/gal] = Density [lb/in³] × 0.1155

Density [ton/gal] = Density [lb/gal] × 0.0005

For example, let's express the water density (62.43 lb/ft³) in terms of tons per gallon:

Density [ton/gal] = 62.43 × 6.68403 × 10⁻⁵ ton/gal

Density [ton/gal] = 0.004172 ton/gal
