What does grain/gallon (UK) measure?

Grain/gallon (UK) expresses mass per volume, commonly used for measuring water hardness or dissolved solids in UK water analyses.

Where is ton (long)/cubic yard used?

Ton (long)/cubic yard is used to report densities of bulk materials such as aggregates, sand, gravel, and soils in civil engineering and construction.

Can I use this converter for all density measurements?

This converter is suited for specific applications involving these units, but care should be taken since grain/gallon (UK) applies to aqueous solutions and ton (long)/cubic yard to bulk solids.

Calculating bulk density for dredged materials, coal, or mineral cargos in shipping
Specifying compacted soil or pavement layer densities using traditional imperial units

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure units are contextually appropriate given the difference between aqueous solution densities and bulk solid densities
Use this converter for applications where imperial and imperial-derived density units are standard
Verify that the material properties suit conversion between these units given their distinct scale and use cases

Limitations

Grain/gallon (UK) is intended for fine-scale, low-density aqueous measurements, not bulk solids
Ton (long)/cubic yard measures bulk solid density with much larger scale values
Direct conversions should be interpreted carefully due to significant differences in the physical nature of measured materials
