What does ton (short)/cubic yard measure?

It is a density unit expressing mass per volume as one short ton (2,000 pounds) distributed over one cubic yard of volume.

When should I use gigagram per liter for density?

Gigagram per liter is used for extremely dense materials typically found in astrophysics, high-pressure physics, and theoretical models.

Why are the converted values so small?

Because gigagram per liter represents much higher density scales, typical engineering densities convert to very small decimal numbers.
