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

It represents the density of a material with one short ton distributed over a cubic yard of volume, commonly used in construction.

When should I use megagram per liter [Mg/L] units?

This unit is appropriate for describing extremely high densities found in astrophysics, planetary science, or materials physics.

Is this conversion suitable for everyday construction work?

No, megagram per liter units are too large-scale for typical construction and engineering density measurements.
