What does pound/gallon (US) measure?

Pound per US gallon measures density as mass in avoirdupois pounds contained in one US liquid gallon.

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

Converting these units helps compare or use densities of liquids with those of solids and bulk materials commonly used in industries like construction and petroleum processing.

Is the conversion affected by temperature?

Yes, density values can change with temperature, but this conversion assumes standard temperature and homogeneous conditions.
