About Converting Metric tons per Cubic yard to Pounds per Imperial gallon
Metric ton per Cubic yard and Pound per Imperial gallon 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 imperial gallon = metric tons per cubic yard × 13.1088211007
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 pound per imperial gallon equals 99.7763726631 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct metric ton per cubic yard-to-pound per imperial gallon factor of 13.1088211007.
Simple example
1 t/yd3 × 13.1088211 = 13.1088211 lb/imp gal
1 metric ton per cubic yard = 13.1088211 pounds per imperial gallon.
Real-world example
1,000 t/yd3 × 13.1088211 = 13,108.8211 lb/imp gal
1,000 metric tons per cubic yard = 13,108.8211 pounds per imperial gallon.

What is a metric ton per cubic yard?
Metric ton per Cubic yard (t/yd3) is a unit of density.
What is a pound per imperial gallon?
Pound per Imperial gallon (lb/imp gal) is a unit of density.
Is the metric ton per cubic yard to pound per imperial gallon conversion exact?
Yes. Both metric ton per cubic yard and pound per imperial gallon are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 13.1088211 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.
