What Is This Tool?
This tool converts density values from ton (long) per cubic yard to exagram per liter [Eg/L], facilitating comparisons between common bulk material densities and those found in high-energy physics and astrophysics.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the density value in ton (long) per cubic yard into the input field.
-
Select the source unit as ton (long)/cubic yard and the target unit as exagram/liter [Eg/L].
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent value in exagram per liter.
-
Review the result to relate practical engineering densities with astrophysical or nuclear matter scales.
Key Features
-
Converts density from ton (long)/cubic yard to exagram/liter [Eg/L].
-

Examples
-
5 ton (long)/cubic yard equals approximately 6.64×10^-15 Eg/L.
-
10 ton (long)/cubic yard converts to about 1.33×10^-14 Eg/L.
Common Use Cases
-
Reporting densities of aggregates, sand, gravel, and crushed stone in construction.
-
Estimating bulk densities for dredged materials, coal, and minerals in shipping and earthworks.
-
Specifying compacted soil and pavement densities with imperial units in civil projects.
-
Describing densities of compact astrophysical bodies like neutron stars.
-
Expressing nuclear matter density scales in theoretical physics and high-energy nuclear research.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use this conversion primarily for comparison between common material densities and astrophysical scales.
-
Verify unit selections carefully to ensure correct conversions.
-
Recognize that densities in ton (long)/cubic yard are many orders of magnitude smaller than exagram/liter values.
-
Consider the context of use—engineering or astrophysics—when interpreting the results.
Limitations
-
Ton (long)/cubic yard units apply to ordinary bulk materials with much smaller density values than exagram per liter.
-
Exagram per liter units are appropriate only for extremely dense nuclear or astrophysical matter.
-
Conversions are mainly theoretical when used outside of astrophysics or high-energy physics contexts.
-
This tool does not provide precision adjustments or rounding specifics.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does ton (long)/cubic yard represent?
-
It is a density unit reflecting one long ton of mass divided by one cubic yard of volume, commonly used for bulk materials in engineering.
-
When is exagram per liter used?
-
Exagram per liter is used to express extremely large densities found in nuclear matter and astrophysical objects like neutron stars.
-
Can I use this conversion tool for typical materials like sand?
-
While you can convert values, exagram per liter units are impractical for usual materials and serve mostly for theoretical or comparative purposes.
Key Terminology
-
Ton (long)/cubic yard
-
A unit of density representing one long ton (2240 pounds) divided by one cubic yard of volume, used for bulk materials.
-
Exagram per liter [Eg/L]
-
A unit of density equal to one exagram (10^15 kg) per liter (10^-3 m^3), used for describing extremely large densities in astrophysics and nuclear physics.
