What does kilogram per liter (kg/L) measure?

Kilogram per liter (kg/L) measures density as the mass in kilograms contained in one liter of volume, commonly used for liquids.

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

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

Why should I consider temperature and pressure when converting densities?

Because density can vary with temperature and pressure, consistent conditions ensure more accurate and reliable conversions between units.

Examples

1 kg/L is equivalent to approximately 0.7525 ton (long)/cubic yard
2 kg/L converts to about 1.50496 ton (long)/cubic yard

Common Use Cases

Reporting densities of liquids such as fuels and oils in chemical and industrial contexts
Estimating bulk densities of aggregates, sand, gravel, and crushed stone in construction projects
Calculating densities for dredged materials, coal, and mineral cargos in shipping and earthworks
Specifying compacted soil and pavement layer densities in imperial unit-based projects

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure temperature and pressure conditions are consistent when measuring densities to get accurate conversions
Use this tool to facilitate communication between metric and imperial unit users in engineering fields
Verify material type since ton (long)/cubic yard units are less precise for liquids compared to kilogram per liter
Double-check inputs and outputs especially in critical project calculations involving bulk materials

Limitations

Small rounding errors may occur due to differences in metric and imperial unit system origins
Ton (long)/cubic yard is less precise for liquids because of variability in bulk density of solids
Density values can differ with temperature and pressure changes, so consistent conditions are required
