What does ton (short)/cubic yard measure?

It measures density expressing the mass of one short ton spread over one cubic yard of volume, commonly used for heavy materials in solid form.

Where is ounce/gallon (UK) typically used?

It is used mainly for reporting densities of liquids like fuels and lubricants, especially in older British industry and technical literature.

Is this conversion suitable for all materials?

No, because ton (short)/cubic yard is mostly for solids and ounce/gallon (UK) is mainly for liquids, careful consideration of material type and context is needed.
