What does pound per gallon (UK) measure?

It measures density as mass in avoirdupois pounds per UK Imperial gallon of volume, often used for fuels and lubricants.

Why convert to ton (long) per cubic yard?

This unit is used for quantifying mass per volume of bulk materials like aggregates and soil in construction and engineering.

Can temperature affect this conversion?

Yes, temperature and pressure changes can alter densities, but this conversion assumes standard conditions without such adjustments.
