About Converting Long tons per Cubic yard to Short tons per Imperial gallon
Long ton per Cubic yard and Short ton per Imperial 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
short tons per imperial gallon = long tons per cubic yard × 0.00665958857867
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 short ton per imperial gallon equals 199552.745326 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct long ton per cubic yard-to-short ton per imperial gallon factor of 0.00665958857867.
Simple example
1 long ton/yd3 × 0.006659588579 = 0.0066595886 ton/imp gal
1 long ton per cubic yard = 0.0066595886 short tons per imperial gallon.
Real-world example
1,000 long ton/yd3 × 0.006659588579 = 6.659588579 ton/imp gal
1,000 long tons per cubic yard = 6.659588579 short tons per imperial gallon.

What is a long ton per cubic yard?
Long ton per Cubic yard (long ton/yd3) is a unit of density.
What is a short ton per imperial gallon?
Short ton per Imperial gallon (ton/imp gal) is a unit of density.
Is the long ton per cubic yard to short ton per imperial gallon conversion exact?
Yes. Both long ton per cubic yard and short ton per imperial gallon are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.006659588579 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.
