About Converting Long tons per Gallon to Pounds per Cubic Centimeter
Long ton per Gallon and Pound 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
pounds per cubic centimeter = long tons per gallon × 0.591745397282
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 long ton per gallon equals 268411.19719 base units, and 1 pound per cubic centimeter equals 453592.37 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct long ton per gallon-to-pound per cubic centimeter factor of 0.591745397282.
Simple example
1 long ton/gal × 0.5917453973 = 0.5917453973 lb/cm3
1 long ton per gallon = 0.5917453973 pounds per cubic centimeter.
Real-world example
1,000 long ton/gal × 0.5917453973 = 591.7453973 lb/cm3
1,000 long tons per gallon = 591.7453973 pounds per cubic centimeter.

What is a long ton per gallon?
Long ton per Gallon (long ton/gal) is a unit of density.
What is a pound per cubic centimeter?
Pound per Cubic Centimeter (lb/cm3) is a unit of density.
Is the long ton per gallon to pound per cubic centimeter conversion exact?
Yes. Both long ton per gallon and pound per cubic centimeter are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.5917453973 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.
