About Converting Long tons per Cubic yard to Metric tons per Cubic Centimeter
Long ton per Cubic yard and Metric ton per Cubic Centimeter 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
metric tons per cubic centimeter = long tons per cubic yard × 0.00000132893918362
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 metric ton per cubic centimeter equals 1000000000 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct long ton per cubic yard-to-metric ton per cubic centimeter factor of 0.00000132893918362.
Simple example
1 long ton/yd3 × 0.000001328939184 = 0.0000013289 t/cm3
1 long ton per cubic yard = 0.0000013289 metric tons per cubic centimeter.
Real-world example
1,000 long ton/yd3 × 0.000001328939184 = 0.0013289392 t/cm3
1,000 long tons per cubic yard = 0.0013289392 metric tons per cubic centimeter.

Frequently asked questions
How many metric tons per cubic centimeter are in 1 long ton per cubic yard?
1 long ton per cubic yard equals 0.0000013289 metric tons per cubic centimeter, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert long ton per cubic yard to metric ton per cubic centimeter?
Multiply the long ton per cubic yard value by 0.000001328939184. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert metric ton per cubic centimeter back to long ton per cubic yard?
Use the reverse factor: 1 metric ton per cubic centimeter equals 752,479.8819 long tons per cubic yard. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a long ton per cubic yard?
Long ton per Cubic yard (long ton/yd3) is a unit of density.
What is a metric ton per cubic centimeter?
Metric ton per Cubic Centimeter (t/cm3) is a unit of density.
Is the long ton per cubic yard to metric ton per cubic centimeter conversion exact?
Yes. Both long ton per cubic yard and metric ton per cubic centimeter are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.000001328939184 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.
