About Converting Metric tons per Imperial gallon to Long tons per Cubic yard
Metric ton per Imperial gallon and Long 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
long tons per cubic yard = metric tons per imperial gallon × 165.522433992
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 metric ton per imperial gallon equals 219969.248299 base units, and 1 long ton per cubic yard equals 1328.93918362 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct metric ton per imperial gallon-to-long ton per cubic yard factor of 165.522433992.
Simple example
1 t/imp gal × 165.522434 = 165.522434 long ton/yd3
1 metric ton per imperial gallon = 165.522434 long tons per cubic yard.
Real-world example
1,000 t/imp gal × 165.522434 = 165,522.434 long ton/yd3
1,000 metric tons per imperial gallon = 165,522.434 long tons per cubic yard.

Multiply the metric ton per imperial gallon value by 165.522434. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert long ton per cubic yard back to metric ton per imperial gallon?
Use the reverse factor: 1 long ton per cubic yard equals 0.0060414771 metric tons per imperial gallon. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a metric ton per imperial gallon?
Metric ton per Imperial gallon (t/imp gal) is a unit of density.
What is a long ton per cubic yard?
Long ton per Cubic yard (long ton/yd3) is a unit of density.
Is the metric ton per imperial gallon to long ton per cubic yard conversion exact?
Yes. Both metric ton per imperial gallon and long ton per cubic yard are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 165.522434 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.
