What does hectogram per liter measure?

It measures density as mass in hectograms per volume in liters and is commonly used for liquid solutions and mixtures.

When should I use ton (long) per cubic yard as a unit?

This unit is typically used for densities of bulk materials like aggregates, sand, and mineral cargos in civil engineering and shipping.

Is the conversion exact between these units?

No, the conversion is approximate and may vary slightly due to rounding and differing measurement conditions.
