What does gram per cubic meter measure?

Gram per cubic meter measures the mass in grams contained within one cubic meter of volume, representing density.

Where is the ton (long) per cubic yard unit commonly used?

Ton (long) per cubic yard is commonly used in civil engineering and construction to express bulk density of materials like sand, gravel, and soil.

Can this converter handle very low-density gases accurately?

Conversions for very low-density gases should be approached carefully due to possible measurement uncertainties.
