About Converting Metric tons per Cubic yard to Long tons per Cubic foot
Metric ton per Cubic yard and Long 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
long tons per cubic foot = metric tons per cubic yard × 0.0364520936152
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 metric ton per cubic yard equals 1307.95061931 base units, and 1 long ton per cubic foot equals 35881.3579577 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct metric ton per cubic yard-to-long ton per cubic foot factor of 0.0364520936152.
Simple example
1 t/yd3 × 0.03645209362 = 0.0364520936 long ton/ft3
1 metric ton per cubic yard = 0.0364520936 long tons per cubic foot.
Real-world example
1,000 t/yd3 × 0.03645209362 = 36.45209362 long ton/ft3
1,000 metric tons per cubic yard = 36.45209362 long tons per cubic foot.

Frequently asked questions
How many long tons per cubic foot are in 1 metric ton per cubic yard?
1 metric ton per cubic yard equals 0.0364520936 long tons per cubic foot, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert metric ton per cubic yard to long ton per cubic foot?
Multiply the metric ton per cubic yard value by 0.03645209362. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert long ton per cubic foot back to metric ton per cubic yard?
Use the reverse factor: 1 long ton per cubic foot equals 27.43326654 metric tons per cubic yard. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a metric ton per cubic yard?
Metric ton per Cubic yard (t/yd3) is a unit of density.
What is a long ton per cubic foot?
Long ton per Cubic foot (long ton/ft3) is a unit of density.
Is the metric ton per cubic yard to long ton per cubic foot conversion exact?
Yes. Both metric ton per cubic yard and long ton per cubic foot are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.03645209362 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.
