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

It represents a density unit equal to one long ton (2240 pounds) of mass divided by one cubic yard of volume.

When should I convert ton (long)/cubic yard to pound/gallon (US)?

When you need to use bulk material densities in contexts related to liquids, such as petroleum products and industrial fluids, especially in US customary units.

Does this conversion work for both solids and liquids?

Ton (long)/cubic yard applies primarily to bulk solids, while pound/gallon (US) is mainly used for liquids, so density values may not be directly comparable without considering material state.
