What does gram/cubic millimeter measure?

Gram per cubic millimeter is a unit of mass density quantifying the mass contained in a very small volume of one cubic millimeter.

When should I use ton (short)/cubic yard as a density unit?

Ton (short) per cubic yard is commonly used to express material mass over a large volume for applications in construction, earthmoving, and material transport.

Why is this conversion important?

It helps translate densities measured at micro scales to practical units compatible with large-scale construction and engineering requirements.
