What does ton (short)/cubic yard measure?

It measures density as mass per volume, specifically one short ton spread over one cubic yard of space, commonly used in construction and earthmoving.

Why convert ton (short)/cubic yard to femtogram per liter?

Such conversions are important for expressing very large density values in extremely small mass-concentration units, useful in precise environmental and chemical analyses.

Are femtogram per liter units practical for everyday measurements?

Femtogram per liter is typically used for ultratrace measurements at extremely low mass concentrations, making it unsuitable for most common density measurements.
