What does ton (long)/cubic yard measure?

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

When should I use pound per cubic inch [lb/in^3] units?

Use pound per cubic inch [lb/in^3] when dealing with small volumes and dense solids, such as metal parts or ballistics.

Is this conversion exact for all applications?

No, this conversion involves approximation due to differences in measurement contexts and may not be suitable for high-precision needs.
