What does one ton (long) per cubic yard represent?

It represents a density unit defined as one long ton (2240 pounds) of mass divided by one cubic yard of volume, commonly used for bulk materials.

When should I use centigram per liter as a unit?

Centigram per liter is used to express very low mass concentrations in fluids, such as dissolved substances in water or lab reagent concentrations.

Can I directly compare density values in ton (long)/cubic yard and cg/L?

These units measure densities in different physical states—bulk solids versus fluids—so direct comparison needs careful consideration of phase and context.
