What does ton (long)/cubic yard measure?

It quantifies density by expressing the mass of one long ton (2240 pounds) distributed over one cubic yard of volume, mainly for bulk materials.

Why convert to kilogram per liter?

Kilogram per liter is a standard metric density unit widely used in science and industry for reporting and comparing material densities.

Is this conversion exact?

The conversion uses an approximate constant and assumes standard conditions; slight rounding and conditions may affect exact values.
