What is 2900 gallons in tons?
Answer:
Density is needed to answer this problem.
Eight pounds a gallon
depends what it is ? If its mercury or water ?
You need to specify what they are gallons of. They could be water or they could be textured paint with sand in it. If it was water it would be about 12 tons.
Expand the detail in your question to get more specific weights.
Gallons of what?
If it's water, 1 gallons weighs 10lb and 1 ton is 2240lb so 2900 gallons of water weighs 29000 / 2240 = 12.946 (approx) tons.
Note: these are UK measures – adapt appropriately for US.
Your comparing apples to coconuts andrew.
It depends what the substance you are using.
You need to input the density of your fluid
2900 gal / 7.48 gal/ft^3 x Density lb/ft^3 / 2000 lb/ton
Gallon is used to measure Volume but tons used to measure weight. Normally 1ton=1000 kilos and 1 gallon=3.78 liters. And the other rule says 1liter pure water weights 1 kilos. Everything else weights different depends on the density.
If we take water in this sample; 2900gallons water will be 10962 liters and it will weight 10962 kilos what is 10.962 tons. But if you are talking about different liquid, numbers will change. For instance raw oil would weight less. TY
For water in US gallons.
1 gallon = 8.3 pounds
2,900 gallons = 24,070 lbs
1 metric ton = 2,200lbs
24,070 ÷ 2,200 = 10.9 Tons: Answer.
For any other liquid, multiply by the S.G. of the liquid.
Example: An oil with S.G. of 0.85:
= 0.85 x 10.9 = 9.265 tons.
