What does decigram per liter measure?

Decigram per liter quantifies mass concentration in liquids, indicating how many decigrams of mass exist per liter of volume.

When should I convert from dg/L to ton (long)/cubic yard?

Use this conversion when you need to relate low concentration liquid densities to bulk densities typical in materials like aggregates or soil.

Are these units directly interchangeable?

No, because they measure densities in different states and scales, direct interchange without considering context is limited.
