What does petagram per liter measure?

Petagram per liter is a unit of mass density representing one petagram (10^15 grams) of mass per liter of volume, used for extremely dense materials like neutron stars.

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

This unit is useful for measuring densities of bulk materials such as aggregates, soil, coal, and minerals in construction, mining, and shipping.

Is this conversion appropriate for everyday materials?

No, petagram per liter measures densities at magnitudes too large for everyday materials, so this conversion mainly serves scientific and engineering contexts.
