What does ton (long)/cubic yard measure?

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

Why convert ton (long)/cubic yard to gram per liter?

Conversion helps express bulk material densities in a metric unit frequently used in scientific and laboratory settings, enabling easier comparison.

Can I use gram per liter for solids?

Gram per liter is generally suited for liquids and solutions; using it for solids requires caution and understanding of its limitations.
