Questions and answers on how to convert things from one unit or system to another
Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on
convert-me.com FaceBook pageThank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

I need to Convert Gallons to Pounds.
My product weights= 1 gallon weighs 5 lbs. But I don’t think that it is working, I think that something is wrong. Because when I try to brake down say 55 gallons that weighs 400 lbs,(not of my product, this is with the gallons, some say the maximum weight) and 30 gallons-300lbs and 15 gallons-225. There is no common denominator, at least that I can find. Can some one please help me. Math is not my thing and I am stuck. And need this for work ASAP.
So any help would be greatly appreciated. It’s Monday Jun, 27th/2005.
Thank you all very much.
Daniel.

Different materials have different densities (weight per unit volume). A gallon of feathers and a gallon of lead shot obviously have different weight.
UNless you know the density, you can't make conversions between volume and weight. For solids that are ground, powdered, pelletized, the density can depend on how it is prepared, and vary substantially. When in doubt, weight a sample of known volume.

Thank you for your help, I think that I will just wing it, and we will see when I have to present this before my boss.
Thanks Again
