What does pound per gallon (US) measure?

It measures the mass in avoirdupois pounds contained in one US liquid gallon, representing density in US customary units.

Why convert pound/gallon (US) to pound/cubic yard?

Because pound/cubic yard expresses density in terms suited for bulk materials, which is useful in construction and transport calculations.

Can this conversion be used for metric units?

No, this conversion is specific to US customary units and requires additional steps to convert to metric units.
