What is a commodity weight converter?
A commodity weight converter translates mass (MT, Tons) to volume (Barrels, Gallons, Bushels) based on industry-standard densities. In 2026, it is essential for reconciling oil shipments (using API gravity), grain trades (using bushel weights), and dry bulk logistics.
Numerical Example: Crude Oil Volumetric Check
Volume is highly sensitive to temperature and specific gravity adjustments.

Frequently asked questions
How many barrels are in a metric tonne of crude oil?
It depends on API gravity. Brent (38° API) ≈ 7.45 BBL/MT. WTI (39.6° API) ≈ 7.33 BBL/MT. Heavy sour (22° API) ≈ 6.5 BBL/MT. The exact conversion uses 1 MT = 6.29 × (API + 131.5) / 141.5 barrels.
