What does gigagram per liter measure?

Gigagram per liter expresses density as mass in gigagrams per liter volume, used mainly for ultra-dense materials.

Where is pound per cubic yard typically used?

Pound per cubic yard is common in engineering and construction for quantifying bulk material weight per volume.

Why is the conversion factor so large?

Because gigagram per liter and pound per cubic yard measure density on vastly different unit scales.
