What does pound per cubic yard measure?

Pound per cubic yard measures how many pounds of a material are contained in one cubic yard of volume, commonly used in construction and engineering to specify material density.

How is ounce per cubic foot different from pound per cubic yard?

Ounce per cubic foot uses ounces as mass and cubic feet as volume, expressing density in smaller imperial units compared to pound per cubic yard, which is useful for lightweight materials.

Why convert from pound/cubic yard to ounce/cubic foot?

Conversion allows expressing density in a unit more practical for applications like insulation or packing materials, enabling better communication and documentation in familiar imperial units.
