About Converting Drams per Cubic foot to Long tons per Cubic yard
Dram per Cubic foot and Long ton per Cubic yard both measure density — mass per unit volume — a property used to identify materials, check manufacturing quality, and predict whether something floats or sinks. As a fixed reference point, water has a density of exactly 1000 kg/m³ (1 g/cm³, 1 g/mL) at its temperature of maximum density, which is why many density figures in science and engineering are quoted relative to water. Both are mass per volume density units.
Formula
long tons per cubic yard = drams per cubic foot × 0.0000470842633929
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 dram per cubic foot equals 0.0625721225545 base units, and 1 long ton per cubic yard equals 1328.93918362 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct dram per cubic foot-to-long ton per cubic yard factor of 0.0000470842633929.
Simple example
1 dr/ft3 × 0.00004708426339 = 0.0000470843 long ton/yd3
1 dram per cubic foot = 0.0000470843 long tons per cubic yard.
Real-world example
1,000 dr/ft3 × 0.00004708426339 = 0.0470842634 long ton/yd3
1,000 drams per cubic foot = 0.0470842634 long tons per cubic yard.

What is a dram per cubic foot?
Dram per Cubic foot (dr/ft3) is a unit of density.
What is a long ton per cubic yard?
Long ton per Cubic yard (long ton/yd3) is a unit of density.
Is the dram per cubic foot to long ton per cubic yard conversion exact?
Yes. Both dram per cubic foot and long ton per cubic yard are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.00004708426339 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between density and mass concentration?
Density is the mass of a pure substance or material per unit volume. Mass concentration is the mass of one component — like a dissolved solute — within a mixture's total volume. The two use the same kind of units but describe different physical situations.
