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

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

Why convert densities from ton (long)/cubic yard to pound/cubic foot?

This conversion is needed to express densities in units favored in US customary systems for applications like HVAC design, construction, and industrial process controls.

Does this conversion consider temperature or pressure changes?

No, the conversion assumes standardized units and does not account for temperature or pressure variations that could affect volume measurements.
