What does gram per liter (g/L) represent?

Gram per liter is a unit expressing mass per volume, used to describe density or mass concentration, equivalent to one gram of substance in one liter of volume.

Where is ton (long)/cubic yard commonly used?

Ton (long) per cubic yard is used primarily in civil engineering, construction, and shipping to measure the density of aggregates, soils, and bulk materials in imperial units.

How does this conversion benefit users?

It helps translate density measurements from metric units common in laboratories to imperial-based units used in construction and material handling, facilitating cross-domain applications.
