What does ton (long)/cubic yard measure?

It is a density unit representing one long ton of mass per one cubic yard of volume, commonly used in construction for bulk material densities.

Why convert ton (long)/cubic yard to slug per cubic foot?

This conversion helps translate imperial-derived density units into US customary units for calculations in aerospace, naval engineering, and fluid dynamics.

Are there accuracy concerns with this conversion?

Yes, differences in unit system bases and assumptions of uniform density can introduce rounding errors, so care is needed for precision-critical work.
