About Converting Short tons per Imperial gallon to Short tons per Cubic yard
Short ton per Imperial gallon and Short ton per Cubic yard 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 cubic yard = short tons per imperial gallon × 168.178557394
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 short ton per imperial gallon equals 199552.745326 base units, and 1 short ton per cubic yard equals 1186.55284252 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct short ton per imperial gallon-to-short ton per cubic yard factor of 168.178557394.
