What does ton (short)/cubic yard measure?

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

Why convert to ounce per cubic inch (oz/in^3)?

Ounce per cubic inch is used in U.S. customary units, especially for smaller volumes in manufacturing and engineering.

Can I use this tool for all materials?

This tool works best with materials that have consistent densities and uniform distribution; variable or non-uniform materials may yield less accurate conversions.
