About Converting Long tons per Liter to Metric tons per Cubic foot
Long ton per Liter and Metric ton per Cubic foot 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 foot = long tons per liter × 28.7712444468
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 long ton per liter equals 1016046.9088 base units, and 1 metric ton per cubic foot equals 35314.6667215 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct long ton per liter-to-metric ton per cubic foot factor of 28.7712444468.
Simple example
1 long ton/L × 28.77124445 = 28.77124445 t/ft3
1 long ton per liter = 28.77124445 metric tons per cubic foot.
Real-world example
1,000 long ton/L × 28.77124445 = 28,771.24445 t/ft3
1,000 long tons per liter = 28,771.24445 metric tons per cubic foot.

Frequently asked questions
How many metric tons per cubic foot are in 1 long ton per liter?
1 long ton per liter equals 28.77124445 metric tons per cubic foot, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert long ton per liter to metric ton per cubic foot?
Multiply the long ton per liter value by 28.77124445. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert metric ton per cubic foot back to long ton per liter?
Use the reverse factor: 1 metric ton per cubic foot equals 0.0347569255 long tons per liter. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a long ton per liter?
Long ton per Liter (long ton/L) is a unit of density.
What is a metric ton per cubic foot?
Metric ton per Cubic foot (t/ft3) is a unit of density.
Is the long ton per liter to metric ton per cubic foot conversion exact?
Yes. Both long ton per liter and metric ton per cubic foot are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 28.77124445 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.
