Barrel to metric-ton conversion lab

Enter a USD/barrel price and test your own density assumptions. The starting values come from the latest dated row for convenience; this tool never changes the official archive.

Set conversion densities

USD/MT = USD/bbl × [1,000 ÷ (density kg/L × 158.984 L/bbl)]. Changes below update every affected conversion card immediately.

What the defaults mean. Kerosene and gasoil begin with the supplied glossary values. Gasoline begins at 0.739993 kg/L—the density equivalent of Platts’ fixed 8.5 bbl/MT factor. It is an equivalent for calculation, not a claimed cargo density.

How to use this page

Change a USD/bbl price or density and read the recalculated green USD/MT value. Reset restores the convenient starting values.

Important limits

Only products needing barrel-to-ton conversion appear here. High Sulphur Gasoil remains linked to Gasoil 0.05% using × 0.983.

Gasoline method

The reset value reproduces Platts’ 8.5 bbl/MT factor. A custom density intentionally replaces that factor for your own scenario.
