What does grain/gallon (US) measure?

Grain per U.S. gallon measures the mass of a substance, expressed in grains, per one U.S. liquid gallon and is commonly used in reporting water hardness.

Why convert grain/gallon (US) to ton (short)/cubic yard?

This conversion translates chemical concentration measurements into mass per volume units useful for materials handling, construction, and civil engineering.

Are grain/gallon (US) and ton (short)/cubic yard interchangeable?

No; these units measure different physical domains and require appropriate context to be converted meaningfully.
