About Converting Long tons per Cubic yard to Long tons per Gallon
Long ton per Cubic yard and Long ton per Gallon 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 gallon = long tons per cubic yard × 0.00495113168724
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 long ton per cubic yard equals 1328.93918362 base units, and 1 long ton per gallon equals 268411.19719 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct long ton per cubic yard-to-long ton per gallon factor of 0.00495113168724.

What is a long ton per cubic yard?
Long ton per Cubic yard (long ton/yd3) is a unit of density.
What is a long ton per gallon?
Long ton per Gallon (long ton/gal) is a unit of density.
Is the long ton per cubic yard to long ton per gallon conversion exact?
Yes. Both long ton per cubic yard and long ton per gallon are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.004951131687 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.
