What exactly is a ton (long)/cubic yard?

It is a density unit measuring one long ton (2240 pounds) of mass per cubic yard of volume, often used in construction and earthworks.

When should I use petagram per liter as a density unit?

Petagram per liter is used to describe extremely high mass densities, such as those found in neutron stars or nuclear matter, not typical everyday materials.

Why are converted values from ton (long)/cubic yard to Pg/L so small?

Because petagram per liter measures enormous mass concentrations, normal materials yield very tiny values in this unit, making the conversion mainly theoretical.
