How many kilograms does a barrel of crude oil weigh

The common measurement unit of crude oil is “barrel” as a unit of capacity. How many kilograms does a barrel of crude oil weigh?


1 ton is about 7 barrels, if the oil is lighter (thin) then 1 ton is about 7.2 barrels or 7.3 barrels. Gas stations in the United States and Europe usually use gallons as the unit, while gas stations in my country are priced in liters. 1 barrel = 158.98 liters = 42 gallons. US 1 gallon = 3.785 liters, imperial 1 gallon = 4.546 liters.

If you want to convert volume to weight, it is related to the density of crude oil. Assuming that the density of crude oil in a real estate is 0.99 kg/liter, then the weight of a barrel of crude oil is 158.98×0.99= 157.3902 kg
